I disappear for months on end......just my life but I always come back!
There's a hole in my chest where my heart use to be
It was never the same the day you left me
It's a void to a world where happiness goes
It by passes my heart, my body and soul
Nothing I feel, nothing gets through
It use to be the place where my spirit flew
Blackness it leaks, spits fire and ice
My emotions controlled like the roll of a dice
I smile and I nod and agree with the world
Inside my sanity is becoming uncurled
A flash of your face, a glimpse of your eyes
Slowly and surely another part of me dies
A rub of my shoulder and a promise of life
People's words, they mean well but they twist like a knife
How can they know that, can they not see
That you are not here and without you I ain't me
This hole I can't fill it's a bottomless pit
Although I try. . . Yes I try with love, sweat and grit
It will never be whole for you'll never be here
But I hope to repair it before all life disappears
For I know you are watching and the pain you feel too
And I know that it hurts you to see me so blue
I know that you want me to always go on
I know that you want me to always stay strong
To the day that our souls meet once again
I can hold you and kiss you my very best friend
Till that day I promise to patch up that hole
Take comfort in knowing your there where I go

Wow! Excellent write.
Thank you 😊
Thanks JOOLES for a lovely tribute to a very every dear loved one ! In a sense it made me sad too as I thought of all my near and dear ones who have been called home to Glory. As each one passes the hole in our grieving heart gets bigger. There are two compensations for me ~ ONE ~ I know I will meet them all again in the SWEET SWEET BYE-&-BYE and ~ TWO ~ the Good Lord keeps adding new babies to our Extended Family to compensate. Thanks for caring & sharing ~ HUGS BRIAN
Thank you....yeah babies are a blessing that keep us going
Heart wrenching write Jooles. Very true about loss.
Thank you 😊
Wow 😖... I definitely can relate. It was very beautiful. ☺
Thank you, I wrote this for a friend who lost her fiancée 😞
You're welcome. It's amazing how people like us can put ourselves in different pairs of shoes when we want to write from different point of views.
I know...empathy it's a powerful thing
