People leave too soon,
And feelings stay too long.
Echoes of their absence
Reverberate through my bones
Like a never-ending song.
I thought I had prepared
For when you left this earth,
But the grief within my heart
Persists, relentless, and unyielding,
Like a never-ending curse.
I see your face in dreams,
And hear your voice in my mind.
Our shared memories are a comfort,
Yet they also sting like a thorn
That I cannot leave behind.
The days stretch on and on,
But the pain remains unbroken.
I wonder when I'll feel
More like myself again,
And not like a shattered token.
Friends try to offer help,
Encouragement, support,
But no one really knows
The depth of this wound,
The extent of this hurt.
I try to focus on your life,
The love you brought to mine,
But sometimes it's hard to see
Through the tears that constantly blind.
They say time will heal all wounds,
But what if it does not?
What if the ache inside me
Is a burden that I've got to bear,
Like a never-ending cross?
I wish I understood
Why some people leave too soon,
Why they have to go
Before their time has come,
Leaving us to pick up the boom.
Perhaps it's not for us
To know or understand
But to trust in the universe
And the plan it has in store
And to keep moving forward, hand in hand.
People leave too soon
But love will always stay
Memories will never fade
And in our hearts they'll always blaze
Until we meet again some day.
