Lost Soul

Lost Soul

She seeks solace in clutching his ring

The silence is more than deafening

They shared so much in this home

Now she faces the future alone

She plays their song to break the peace 

The pain of sorrow will not cease

Memories of joy flood back with the tune

Tears are now her companion in the gloom

To lose her reason to live in this way

Torments her each and every day

Friends and family have tried their best

To help her through this toughest test

But she has a broken heart

Dwelling on the moment their souls did part

Losing her lover to the cruelty of fate

She has no choice but to wait

For the anguish not to sap her strength

She would go to any length

To feel his arms around her again

To see his smile and happy refrain

For them to bless this house as they had

For a release from despair she would be glad

But now she crumples to the floor with grief

Praying for there to be some relief

The solitude overwhelms her once more 

She will never recover, of that she is sure.

Very emotional and realistic in this world we live in. It's a shame this happens daily, but life must always go on. Good work...

So sad. My first thought was "oh god I hope not."...your words are very moving. I was able to apply it to one of my realities...that's how I imagined it must be for her and worse. It's very very good.

Such a wonderful poem, story....sad as well.  The vision of this relationship, her feelings. Her isolation, pain and heartbreak....reflects so much of my writing as well...The imagery is amazing...
