Jul 2019
It came like
a flash of
lightening,
as if the
whole world just
crashed over me,
like crushed eggs.
My heart melted
and i became
weak at the knees.
I was humbled
by that moment.
My heart was
lonely and i
needed solace and
a warm hug
to be comforted.
I needed someone
just to tell me
that it's going
to be okay.
The thoughts of
emptiness and
being alone overwhelmed
me as i looked
at the vast emptiness
without her presence
in my life
not minding
it was time
for her to go.
I was so
overpowered by the
sense of loss
that i couldn't even
remember to have
a meal or clean up
and groom myself.
I felt like
the walking dead,
numbed to my bones.
Today as i
looked back to
reflect on all
that occurred since
her demise.
My heart is
grateful for everything.
And i asked
the Almighty to
bless and keep her.
