Poetry: Death of a loved one

There exists a smile
That does not reach the heart
For those who have lost someone
And now are very far apart

There exists a laugh
Where there is no joy in the sound
For those who have lost someone
There is just no joy to be found

There exists a life
That is lived every day with pain
For those who have lost someone
Every day is dark with rain

There exists an ache
Inside a soul that is broken
For those who have lost someone
With a goodbye never spoken

There exists a darkness
Where the light does not ever touch
For those who have lost someone
And miss them so very much

There exists a pain
That is not like any other
For I have lost someone
That someone was my brother

    Linger

    The machine by your bed
    bleeps to tell me
    you are alive.

    I would not
    have known any
    other way. You are not
    living.

    You linger
