Desolation

A part of me died a while back
In its place what’s left is pain
Setting my outlook on the future off track
I still shed a tear or two
But most often it is three tears a day
The pain doesn’t seem to want to go away
I will somehow find a way to survive
But this I know
That part of me will never again feel alive

It does feel like a part is reserved to the past sometimes, and you convey that very well.  I wonder if we hold on sometimes as a means of validating what we felt...not what we feel.  There is a risk in finding happiness again.  To accept it is to realize that what we knew was not all there is to know.

Good Memorial Day Poem.
