Tragic is the life ended so suddenly. Tragic is the void that's been left in me. Most often staring out into the never. A hazy horizon that sets beyond the river. I don my stetson, front brim tipped way down. A broken cowboy, life of a rodeo clown. Lifting my head up just to know I am not missing much. So much love deep within but so numb to the touch. I may have died also when you went away. I fight just for one smile since, each and every day. 'Gets easier' , it hasn't, least not for me. A deep breath, a sigh, I now live life on bended knee.
