I grieve for the lives I’ve lost-
Those within mine,
Which once encompassed my world.
Why must we lose
Friends, family, lovers?
If it were possible,
I would keep them near me,
All to stay for all my life.
I would never spend another night like this:
Wondering what they’re doing,
Wondering if they think of me,
Wondering how we lost each other,
Wondering if I should reach out
And ask them to return.
Yet I also wonder,
Is it better that they’re gone?
