Kerplunk!
The ship has sunk.
I am drowning in pain,
I’m going insane.
Thoughts become the ache,
That I feel as I wake.
The loss is like paralyses,
An ocean of analysis.
Move damn limb!
A message, it\'s not him.
The void is crushing,
My wound is gushing.
Our favourite song,
But I can’t sing along,
What is to become,
Of a life so numb?
The sun shines,
I close the blinds.
The darkness raids,
The soul’s everglades.
I allow the darkness to be,
It is my liberty.
And then from within,
A light so thin.
I sidle nearer,
To the light bearer.
And as I breach the space,
I find a wonderful place.
The warm glow,
A feeling I know,
Home to the heart,
That is broken in part.
How can light exist?
When he is painfully missed?
For this loss was meant,
To see me utterly spent.
But I am in fact,
Incredibly intact.
With a new zest for life,
And no one’s wife.
Are you suggesting?
That I wasted years detesting?
Lessons of the heart?
Which created a kickstart?
To all that I can be,
When I invest in the love that is me,
And realise my power,
Amidst the deepest, darkest hour.
I stand alone,
But I have grown,
Impermanence anew,
Life is more than You.
