Loss
When someone becomes part of you…
It’s hard to let go,
When you feel that partnership...
That connection,
The other becomes a piece of you…
An ingredient that makes up your chemistry,
How do you let that go?
An emissary on your path,
Golden moments of laughter,
Playfulness,
Love.
Then pouf! Gone!
The memories remain,
But the absence is clear,
You feel a part of you missing,
A hole in your heart.
Your energy unwhole,
Breathing…but not fully,
This feeling of loss bares a heavy tole on any soul.
Around every corner there is a remembrance,
Happy memories…
Funny memories…
Sad ones,
How do you move on and forget?
Accept.
Choose happiness over sadness,
To live rather than die in despair,
All those moments good & bad…
Treat with a sense of humour,
A smile,
Let them be.
Move on,
Be grateful for the moments you shared,
Rather than desire more,
Free yourself from never ending desire,
Be grateful,
Cherish the time you were given,
Look forward,
Not behind,
For you deserve Love not suffering.
Begin life anew.
Slowly and gently fill that hole,
Mend that missing part of you.
This will not happen over night,
Time will mend your wound,
Replace that feeling of loss,
As it serves no purpose,
Love yourself,,
Forgive yourself,
Forgive others,
Be grateful for all you have,
Breathe gently & deeply,
One at a time.
In time you will once more find a steady rhythm,
A steady flow.
