Where did your light go?
Feels like you were never here
My grief never ends.
Grief is like a wound:
Never heals, ever sore, rough
scars on the edges.
Life goes on; new things
and events make memories
hard to hold on to.
Your face is a blur
Your voice - a distant echo,
Good times are vivid.
One day I'll join you
Hope you find me in the sea
Of incoming lights.
Till then, I'll cherish
Your memories and pictures.
You are always there.
