The Loss of A Precious Being My heart is aching I can’t dull the pain I cant forget I can’t accept The loss is too great I’s been a lifetime But the wound is fresh It’s still bleeding It’s still hurting There is disbelief There is denial But the reminders Are everywhere Every second of every hour Every day There is no respite No sliver of hope No panacea No miracle Just agony Just pain

Walk In My Shoes
You can walk in my shoes Only to get chafed feet You still won’t know where I’ve been. You say you understand, Yet you start every sentence With the word “but”. You sympathize But it’s harder to Empathize. To make me feel better You minimize my pain, But the pain becomes sharper. Sometimes silence Speaks louder Than empty words. So don’t say a word, Listen, hear the anguish, Look in the depth of misery, Accept that sometimes Another's torment is Incomprehensible.
