Where do you go,
how do you mourn?
When you lose someone
you call your own
The storm tears
your world apart
And scatters pieces
of your broken heart
Images from the past
flood your mind
Can you leave
them all behind?
Words unspoken,
things unsaid
Robbed of goodbyes,
filled with regret
What won’t you give
to get back what’s lost?
Whatever it takes,
no matter the cost
You cling to memories
for as long as they last
When there is no future,
you hold on to the past
The grief and anguish
eat you up inside
A part of yourself
has also died
Every new loss
reminds how you feel
Of an old wound
that refuses to heal
Can you rise
above the pain?
Knowing you’ll never
see them again
Where do you find
the strength to go on?
When the one you loved
has left you alone
