Echoes of Loss

Each second haunts me,
And I'm not sure if I can rise again.
Every climb, every struggle,
Shatters me into pieces.

With no shoulder to lean on,
They all say,
"I have..."
While I whisper,
"I had."

They speak of him in the present,
"He is."
But I can only reply,
"He was."

Realizing you're no longer here,
Brings me to tears,
And makes death
Seem like an easy escape.
