Death of a Loved One

A cycle of poems «Status praesens communis»

In the hush of twilight's embrace,
A heart is shattered, a void in its place.
A loved one's journey has come to an end,
Leaving behind a pain that knows no end.

Oh, the sting of loss, a wound so deep,
Tears flow like rivers, secrets they keep.
A gaping chasm where joy once resided,
Now filled with sorrow, a burden confided.

Memories dance like shadows in the night,
Whispering tales of laughter and delight.
But now they bring only a bittersweet ache,
As the absence of a loved one's voice makes my heart break.

I long to hear their laughter, feel their embrace,
But fate has dealt a cruel and relentless chase.
Their presence lingers in every thought and deed,
A constant reminder of a love they can't impede.

Through the fog of grief, I struggle to see,
A path forward, where darkness may flee.
But in the depths of my despair, a flicker of light,
A glimmer of hope that guides me through the night.

Oh, the sting of loss, a wound so deep,
Tears flow like rivers, secrets they keep.
A gaping chasm where joy once resided,
Now filled with sorrow, a burden confided.

Time may heal the wounds, but scars remain,
A testament to a love that will never wane.
In their absence, I find solace in their grace,
And cherish their memory in this sacred space.
