sorrow..

despair, grief

Melancholy woes,

such sadness has invaded my soul..

I cannot see through it

I’m no longer whole

I am numb

my mind has come undone..

I no longer feel

it’s all so unreal..

someone wake me

Shake me from this grief that has caused me to lose myself..

feet moving, arms hugging,

eyes wearily watching life that somehow keeps living..

sounds I don’t recognize escaping my mouth..

It is in the real – the now

So afraid of forgetting you

and somehow so afraid I’ll never be able to let you go..

Words we spoke

Plans we made..

a bonding of our hearts

words filling me with hope..

I’ll continue to dream

I’ll never let them die

I’ll release them to the sky..

realizing

I can love you and still say goodbye..
