To the earth, death is life's tool <br />But not to a mother, sister or nephew <br /> <br />You think you're strong <br />When not shedding a tear <br /> <br />You're really hurting your heart <br />As your loved ones despair <br /> <br />They can see your agony <br />They share in your pain <br /> <br />They wait for your melt-down <br />As their hearts feel a pang <br /> <br />Let it all out and feel the pain <br />Do not let your feelings distain <br /> <br />It'll hurt, but only for a while <br />Soon you'll feel <br />You're heart is no longer on trial<br /><br />Pookey's Poems<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/feelings-at-a-loss/
