Not when you know
someone you love
is leaving you.
The thought of
losing a friend stings.
The pain of losing
a parent revisits you.
The insanity of
losing someone
who has become
your very heart slices
you right in two.
You can't
eat. Can't sleep. Can't
concentrate on simple
things. All you do
is wonder how you'll
live without
the necessary beat
inside your chest.
The weight of loss
takes your breath away.
