Five years ago, we let you go

Into that realm of lesser understanding

The pain is less, but the emptiness

Is as real as the shadows that we stand in

Life took a turn in directions, I never planned to go

How to mend this brokenness,

no-body seems know

It’s like-yesterday - we were laughing

Talking - making new plans for tomorrow

Now, I’m all alone and am walking

Down an unfamiliar path, filled with sorrow

I never imagined, how my whole life would change

Living here, in a world without you

I’m lost in the hues of yesteryear

living life in bitter shades of blue

sad poetry

    Great one.

  • The first two lines are particularly striking to me “we let you go into the realm of lesser understanding”. A thought provoking space.
