Loss

A Poem for Us

By Mariam NaeemPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

How do you feel about it?

Losing my sleep these days,

I can't seem to close my eyes.

I want to change these strange ways,

And heal the pain I feel inside.

My world has split itself,

My soul is cut in two.

The loss I feel just hurts it more,

And now I don't know what to do.

Everything begins to sink away,

Like a man who cannot swim.

The drowning feeling of the pain

You can't dive in, to save him.

Sorrow as sweet and bitter as loss,

That feeling of not being able to cope,

But when the tide slowly starts to turn,

Can you feel those stirrings of hope?
