Death; everlasting

by Mimed Lovette   Jun 18, 2013


Nothing is as ever lasting
As taking one's life away.
Removing your ability to feel
In place, a token shell to lay.

After all, at the end of your tale -
With not a single woe to chase -
You leave an astounding legacy
For thirteen grandkids to wear.

I bear not to clear your space
And fill it with current age,
Or erase memories left behind
Instead of paying adage.

So this heart shall take a bruised form
Apart from all that ache
Which seeped under my covers
And take life by the day.

    You have a very articulate way of writing, and so much is expressed in few lines....those first two lines gave such impact because when we do lose something, it's permanent and everlasting, and that can be hard to swallow and move on still remembering them though.

    Ah the second stanza was so sweet, our loved ones definitely do leave behind a legacy that will be treasured. I'm so sorry for your loss.

    Just like you wrote in the last stanza, all we can do is take each breath at a time and each day at a time. The pain and aching is there but they'll always be with us in spirit. Take care <3
