Death Toll
With consummate ease, you toyed with my emotions.
You have taken me down a road never contemplated !
Turning inside out, and back to front, all foundations,
Death, you whisked away everything which I adored !
..............................................
You leave me with thoughts of what might have been.
You made my world nothing but a complete nightmare.
Your callousness is greater than anything I have seen !
Death, you are harbinger of gloom, master of despair !
.............................................
Life is frequently learning to accept miserable losses !
You leave me with memories to make the pain easier.
Death, you comprehend what I feel as time progresses.
Love for the departed I always maintain and nurture !

If only memories made the pain easier for everyone. Optimistic spin on a grim reality, nice job.
I cherish memories of wonderful times spent with friends and family who have passed on. Thinking of the fun that was had can cheer me when I start to feel down. It does not mean that I don't miss them very much.
The passing of time means everything is always changing but those memories remain constant in their character !
Wishing you the very best. Take care.
I can certainly see your stance there. I'm relatively young and unacquainted with loss through death. The losses I've endured have all been victims of evolving character that no longer harmonizes. I've found it difficult to swallow because, it's like losing a loved one to death, but in their place you still have one that holds their resemblance in appearance void of the person inside you once had love for. Probably a bit of sheer, bad luck really.. that this has recurred. Regarding your application though, I can perceive that I'd certainly want those memories to live on once a person passed, for myself and as homage to them from afar. I hope you find yourself surrounded in only the happiest of memories that bring you much joy to reflect upon.
I am sorry to hear of your experiences of loss.
Death is a part of life and is always present liable to take anyone at anytime. As you get older you have more and more encounters with loss and have to come to terms with it in the best way to suit you.
I tend to grieve intensely fro a period then begin focusing on what the dead person gave me in terms of wisdom and happiness. People may die but they have made a big contribution to who you are and how you perceive things. You must remember this, and how they cared for you, putting you in their lives because they enjoyed your company.
I remember those I have lost because I feel some part of them still remains through my memory. Also, the actions I take to deal with circumstance are often a result of receiving their teaching.
Wishing you the very best in everything you choose to do.
Take care.
