Loss

Author: Unknown

The world didn't stop
The day angels carried you home
No one saw my pain
I was completely alone

The world kept on spinning
Even though mine had ended
People kept laughing
I couldn't comprehend

How they couldn't notice
My heart was breaking
My brother was gone...
I could imagine Angels singing

In my mind, I saw Gary in Heaven
Catching up with those who went on before
Finally at peace...
Smiling the smile I adore

I still feel his loss
I miss him everyday
Time is supposed to make it easier
It still hurts, just in a different way

Sorry for your very recent loss. Time will make things easier but you are right it will hurt sometimes and take shape in many forms.

I understand, there's the feeling of sadness when a love one passes away...but perhaps they are more at peace, no pain, no worries and they are floating with light and nature, at ease with their spirit...

this is sad,i felt as though the fibers of hairs just raised my pores

,this is just a delight,i hope you receive comfort bright,to carry you through lonely days,with God above to bind the twain,fertile joy again,may you one day attain,someday again.

nice write.
