Knowing The Truth Of Your Loss Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Crossing ravines of life, searching for the beauty that
I lost when you left me, my dear.

Solemn, eyes tearing constantly as memories continue to
appear, showing me the life we once had.

Now all our dreams are here with me only, they hold only
emptiness now for I can find no joy or happiness in them.

Silently living in a nowhere world, looking at our dreams,
remembering all the plans we had made.

Now they are laid aside, my love, because I cannot bear to
live them by myself, wanting you to share them with me.

But that's an impossibility and I've realized and resigned
myself to the facts.

Yet the pain of losing you does not lessen or ease, just
knowing the truth of your loss inside of me is devastating.
