A Loss

When someone loses a person they love

All they want is for them to come back

They would do anything, anything at all, just to see them one more time

When someone loves a person, they care about them and for them and never wish for bad

When a loved one dies there is no greater pain

Everyone grieves, they miss them more than ever

It feels like a part of them is missing

Like a piece of a puzzle they just can’t get back

But they would do anything to have the missing piece back

To complete the puzzle

Greater pain is having seen them suffer before they died

Watching them cry out in pain and beg for death

Knowing that all they wanted inside was to die, for the pain to stop

But also knowing they don’t wish to leave you

They don’t wish for you to be sad, to grieve for them

But you do

Seeing them alive for the last time and saying goodbye

Hoping that even though they were sleeping, they heard you whisper I love you

That they felt you kiss their cheek, felt the tears on their cheek

You cry and cry and cry some more

You beg for God to cure them, to bring them back when they’re gone

Or you thank God for making their misery end, but still beg for their return

You hope and pray that the people you love and have lost watch over you

And you talk to them, believing they can hear you

But at the same time hope they can’t hear you cry every night

When you are alone

No witnesses around

You think of the good memories which make you cry

But crying is worth it if the memories are priceless

You remember how they were there for you when others weren’t

How they would help you solve your problems

Losing someone you love is the greatest pain

But knowing they are happy, out of pain, and watching over you makes it partly okay

Still you wonder, will it ever be completely okay?
