Missing

You never came home
I searched for you everywhere
Did you leave?
Did you die?

I see your face in strangers
Only my soul knows you now
Did you leave?
Did you die?

Hear my cries
Listen to my dreams
Did you leave?
Did you die?

No words make sense
Only memories of your voice
Did you leave?
Did you die?

Rising out of sleep
Believing you are there
Did you leave?
Did you die?

I scent your skin
My spit turns to honey
Did you leave?
Did you die?

My deepest fear surpassed
Oblivion-no burial no goodbye
Did you leave?
or
Did you die?

Welcome, orchid, to piptalk and our circle of friends!

This poem is so filled with raw emotion, that I would wager, this is an expression of what you actually experiencing.

I empathize with what you are going through.

Giving you a compassionate hug,

Earth Angel

Welcome Orchid.
Your words give flesh to the sudden loss, torn from the fabric of us, without closure.

Emotive and strong. Happy to have you join us here.
