Literature Text

I don’t know where I am.

I feel like all is lost.

What’s the point in living,

If this will be the cost?

 

How could I have lost again?

How could you have gone?

What was the point in knowing you,

If pain is all I’ve won?

 

Grief is in my heart again.

It’s in my soul and mind.

It touches all my memories,

It’s all that I can find.

 

But if you were here and saw my pain,

You’d hold my hand and smile.

You’d tell me it would be okay,

It might just take a while.

 

I remember how you made me laugh.

And how we’d laugh together.

I remember all the stories we made,

Are you really gone forever?

 

How can a memory make me laugh,

If it also makes me cry?

How can the thought of you make me happy,

When we have said goodbye?

 

If I had never known you,

I wouldn’t be so sad.

But maybe that’s the point in life,

To cherish what we had.

 

So now may be the time for grieving,

But my memories are true.

They remind me that life is worth living.

In a way, I never lost you.

This is a poem I wrote for a friend who has lost too many times.

This is so beautiful. Such raw emotion and passion. As someone who has experienced a loss very much like yours, it is very clear to me that this person meant a lot to you. My heart weeps softly for yours. :)
