Pain and Forgotten

What do we do when a loved one dies? Do we cry till we can't cry anymore? Do we cave within ourselves so we can't feel the pain? Here is one example.....

Just Enough

I’m on the edge of your bed
As your tears drop,
Each larger than
The last
As they roll down your pillow.


Just barely touching you
As your hands pass
Through my heart,
And you pray for
A shoulder I cannot offer.


A memory to others
I’ve become,
A personal pain to you
I remain
As you continue to die within.


You yell to the sky
Why they had to take me,
As I stand behind you
Caressing your spirit’s
Unrelenting agony.


Never as far as you feel,
Living in your heat and mind
As my lips touch your forehead,
But the feeling isn’t there.
There’s nothing to feel now.


The world population dropped
One number today,
But inside you it has
Dropped two.
As much as this seems unfair,
I live within you.


You curse the stars
For making me beak my promise.
The promise to be there forever,
For you.
But in this sense
I have not left you.


I may be hugging you
While you silently cry
In bed,
And as I promised you,
I am here forever
And always.
