Secret thoughts

This loss

Deep within me

Is an empty space

Within my soul

I don’t know how

I will cope

Without you

By my side

Reachable

Touchable

Secretly mine

There’s an ache

Inside my heart

And each beat

Cries out for you

This emptiness

Is now my only essence

And it weeps silently

With a longing

To be filled once again

With your sweet laugh

And kind words

It needs your gentle smile

And warm embrace

Yet

How do I mourn your loss?

You should never have been

A part of my life

Yet

How do I not?

When your memories linger

In my every thought
