Here one day and gone the next

Here one day and gone the next

A Poem by Emily

My heart aches for you, 
I wish you would come home, 
home, to the place where you belong, 
here with me, your daughter,
Your precious little girl that you raised. 
I need you here, 
the pain that has come across me since you died is unbearable. 
I share my fears with my pillow because I don't want people to see the pain. 
My pillow knows all the secrets of my heart. 
Life was so perfect when you were here, 
We had our family issues, 
but hell what family doesn't. 
Now you're gone and still almost six years later were all still so lost without you. 
I runaway from my pain and bury it deep within. 
Nobody knows I stay up all night listening to the funeral tapes.
Reading the depositions from the morons that didn't dig the hole right that crushed you. 
How does a person move on from this?
You were here one day and gone the next, 
All because somebody didn't know how to do there job properly.

The unexpected loss of a love one is a devastating life moment - your write depicts the anguish and pain accompanying such an event! Moving on is a personal journey - some take more time than others. A very sad but poignant piece - my heart goes out to you ... :-)

Unexpected death can cause immense grief and when I read your poem the rawness still comes through even though your tragic loss took place six years ago. Grief is a journey and it can take some people much longer than others to come to terms with it. Expressing your feelings will help.

Thank you so much for entering this into my contest. I feel such a deep emotion and I can really relate to this.
Your poem really touched me and I could see the beauty behind your words.
Losing a loved one or someone you love dearly is the hardest thing that any of us can go through. I am sorry that it had to be that way, but I do know that your husband is watching you from above. I know from personal experience.
Keep writing and keep smiling because I know that he would want you to be happy.
Thank you for your excellent work!
