It Should Never Be This Way

Katie B.

 

Losing someone who is still alive

Is like finding remnants of disbelief

The loss, cataclysmic

Touching pores, rubbing bones,

A wealth of hope insulted.

Circumstances, unconscionable

For she was part of me and

All I know

    It is a sad occurrence that happens from time to time and one wonders when this began and why. One searches memory for signs unless one can identify the occurrence and reason. A haunting poem Katie where some of us experience this temporarily and others permanently. It is daytime darkness nature's need for independence taken too far. Well written
