The end has come and the pain begins <br />their life is gone <br />but their memories remain <br />sadness becomes my friend <br />the one I long for throughout the night <br />Sitting and falling <br />deep into my soul <br />their spirit calling <br />the hole I dig <br />serves its purpose <br />for what was done is done <br />what they did to waht they've done <br />becomes nothing <br />like an empty space <br />plenty of room <br />but yet still full <br />a place where their thoughts let go <br />Emotions combined <br />together as one <br />soaring through the chilling air <br />as light as a feather <br />their heart unfolds <br />pouring into my dark empty soul <br />Memories <br />become reality <br />a thought is a comfort <br />releasing pain's grasp <br />as my mind clears like a cloudless sky <br />The pain diminished <br />the sadness gonemy emotions rest <br />but one alone <br />with sounds of joy <br />for their journey is done.<br /><br />Andrew Degen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/loss-of-a-loved-one/
