Sometimes life hurts you
In the most torturous way
Taking things from us
That we cherish and adore
I've had several losses in my life
All of them I cried over
My best friend died of cancer
I still cry in the night
My neighbor who was wonderful and kind
Got in a car accident and died instantly
My cat which I had forever
Had a heartattack, and I cried for days
My grandpa whom I loved and respected
Also had a deathening cancer
After all of these losses and tears
I still remember every tradgedy
I know pain and loss
But even though it's hard to admit
Life will somehow move on
Life keeps going
Even though it seems to stop on our pains
For us who know life's unkindnesses
We should all know life will start again
I know loss...
I feel pain...
I've cried a million tears...
But my eyes are still overfilling
I myself feel sometimes that there is no life
I sometimes feel that it is the end
But after I have cried and cried---
Life moves on again
Author notes
Sometimes I feel that all is gone and useless, but then I remember all of the other things that I love, and they give me comfort.
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you find comfort.

I know what you say is true...I really know it, but knowing and UNDERSTANDING and BELIEVING are completely different things. I'll try to grasp everything, think of what it will amount to in the long run, think of how the pain will eventually subside, but it won't be easy nor fast

Well, of course it wont be easy for you to move on. To tell to the truth, sometimes I start sobbing in my room for no apparent reason. I mostly cry over my best friend's and cat's death. They were both really tragic, since my best friend was only nine years old, so it was a while ago, but it was really hard for me. My cat had a heart murmur, which I think is like a heart attack, and it was so bad because she suffered for hours. That was hard for me, and I don't think I will ever fully recover from those aweful experiances. I just want you to know, that even when life seems to get really tough, you just have to realize how much you still have, and how many you still love. Also, I think that having a random cry really helps. I know that I have cried more then a lot of people and that it's okay. Hang in there. You have so much to be happy for.
By the way, if you need to talk to anyone, I'm just a type away. I'm not trying to freak you out, but seriously, if you need a friend, I'm so here for you and anyone.
