Too much time for
reflection
Too many hours spent
alone
Too big a vacancy
inside me
Knowing that I’m on
my own
Memories that should
bring comfort
Better times and
brighter days
Sting my heart and
leave me blinded
In an empty,
tear-stained haze
Too afraid to face
the future
Clinging to things in
the past
So afraid of moving
forward
Nothing’s ever meant
to last
Sentenced to a life
without you
With no option for
parole
Knowing that you’re
gone forever
Nothing else can fill
that hole
Waking trying to find
a reason
With this sadness in
my heart
Searching for a new
beginning
Never knowing where
to start

Such grief so poignantly penned speaks deeply to my own grief of losing my parents. I am fine for a while and then it hits me again they are no longer there.
