Lisa by Justin

My mind is consumed,
By thoughts of you,
It seems so unfair,
That you left me so soon.

I cannot believe it,
Its like a dream thats too real,
Its hard to explain,
This feeling I feel.

I've heard others describe,
Their struggle with loss,
Like a piece of them is missing,
Like there's a hole in their heart.

From my experience,
These feelings they've described,
Aren't even a fraction,
Of what I'm holding inside.

How I want to call you,
Just to talk for a while,
Recalling our childhood,
Always brought us a smile.

I think of our last visit,
Its so vivid in my mind,
If only I could have known,
It would be the last time.

So many more things,
That I would like to say,
If only you were here,
To wipe my tears away.

To you my loving sister,
Until I see you again,
I will mourn the loss,
Of a very dear friend.

Wow
Justin, I really felt the grief, loss, and yearning in this poem; I can tell you put a lot into it. Sometimes just writing down what you feel is very therapeutic.

Need I say more
Loss is one emotion that can take you on a ride. Anger, sadness, disbelief, absent minds....we all grieve differently, remember your pain will go away, but your memories will not
