People milling around
Voices chattering gaily
Happy, bright faces abound
I turn away warily
For the emptiness
gnawing at me
Has left a gaping hole
Where my heart was once
Unsuccessfully,
I try to cover it
with my torn soul.
People milling around

Happy, bright faces abound
I turn away warily
For the emptiness
gnawing at me
Has left a gaping hole
Where my heart was once
Unsuccessfully,
I try to cover it
with my torn soul.
Poignant poem.

Sigh… Even among the throng of smiles and chatter, it’s only the individual who knows what days lie ahead and the emptiness that comes in the wake of absence. Love and hugs to you, dear friend. Oh, and you sire know how to capture contrast.
