There was no warning
only the sudden horror
of being torn apart
of being reminded
that nothing is permanent
not even the ones we love
and the ones who bring joy into our lives
Looks like we are all dancing
on the edge of
a cliff so high and
we can't see the bottom
It feels like we lost you
into that dark ravine
And this loss
has left a great pit in our hearts
a pit we struggle to avoid
Somehow, we will survive
the shock
the denial
the horror
the disbelief
the sleepless nights
Somehow, we will survive all that and
we will slowly begin to remember you
in a different way...
The laughter
the irrepressible spirit
the generous heart
the way your laid back manner made us feel
And in time, we'll fill the pit
with other memories
the only memories that really matter
We will still cry
We will always cry
But with loving reflection
more than hopelessness and helplessness
