Poetry: Mourning

by Dee Devers

Created on: October 18, 2009

It was not until I walked strongly into the funeral parlor to say good bye to my soul mate

that I realized he really was gone taken by a horrible fate. Only a picture and and urn remain.

Some how I expected him to arrive in the flesh at any moment and put my heart at rest.

Maybe this was some cruel test. Taken away at a very young age never to be held in his arms or

laugh with him again. Life had turned the corner in a very dark place. I was in denial and it was as sudden as

his demise that I began to face reality. The mourning of my friend came on swiftly and fierce. Tears began to flow and my knees

grew weak. He is gone. He is gone. He is gone. It will never be the same. I realized there were so many things left unsaid.

My heart beat as if to explode. It was surreal and erie. He was so strong, He left me. He left me. He left me. Why did I not see this coming.

I tried to be strong for you and your family but the pain was so deep and the feelings so severe. I am in mourning. I am in mourning. I am in mourning.

It has been years my soul still cries out and my body trembles. One day our eyes will meet and the sadness will fade away.
