My Little Strength Poem by Kerry Stacey

when did this lonliness become so normal?
how can we overcome?
i fall back into the pain,
each and everyday

i don't know what happened,
it just couldn't be true,
when he uttered those words,
i fell to the ground

is this what it feels to be alone?
or just the pain of knowing...or not knowing
he's gone,
but he's not gone, he can't be

this isn't happening
it's all in my head,
why would this horrible thing
come into being

just another day alone,
i can't tell anyone,
that would mean losing my strength,
my little strength that comes and goes.

now i feel like it's all gone
no one can help me now
i feel torn apart
nobody knows how this feels
my soul has been left in the dark
