Loss Is :

The slicing of the flesh
The deepening of the breath
The quickening of the step

The shrilling of the screams
The fading of the memories
The glossing of the eyes

The dulling of the smile
The chilling of the bed
The revealing of the lies

The thudding of the heart
The lingering of the pain
The hiding of the fears

The tick of the clock
The slam of the door
As all things end.
