Half A Heart

You died, thus half of me died. My pain is unbearable! There is nothing anyone can say or do that can ease my hurt or bring me a minuscule amount of comfort. When I close my eyes I see your face smiling at me. And it breaks my heart every time I picture you. Death severed my heart in half! And now, I drown in a river of tears flowing into an ocean of grief. Clinging to half a heart I slip into a world of memories and dreams, desperately trying to escape reality. What good is half a heart? And is it worth salvaging when half of it is missing? There is no wish or magic elixir that can bring you back. My loss is irretrievable! I'm to live out my remaining years missing half of my heart. For, until death reunites us; I will never feel whole again.
