Irrepairable Loss

As the rain comes tumbling down,
The abyss in my heart deepens,
All happiness has drowned,
And the joy I felt departs.

The gloomy environment outside,

Reflects my mood within,
Stormy winds, thunder, high tide,
Inner silence makes up for the din.

Why did you go, oh beloved,

Leaving me to face the elements,
I am drenched in your memories,
Wedded to this loss, now permanent.

Oh the happy times spent together,

So many laughs and smiles exchanged,
Now I fall into despair like a feather,
That too with an unbounded range.

So many years gone by,

Yet it seems the other day,
When, in just one sigh,
That blast took you away.

The silence thunders through me,
It’s deafening, can't shut it out,
Only reunion can set me free,
Is that even possible? I doubt.

You live on inside me,

Filling my being with life,
Time heals but charges a fee:
Youth vanquished by internal strife.
