The grave is cruel

The grave is cruel

A Poem by Dave W.
"

I hate death, it robs us of love....

"
Silent I sit emotion raw, 
tears stream into pools of sadness. 

This pain of loss, 
oh love, you have cut again, 
this heart bleeding, 
this mind screaming. 

I visit this truth of life, 
a father, a dog, a cat, a wife.  

All gone with pieces of me, 
I am now lessened, 
I am a chasm, 
hallowed out, 
poured, and emptied.  

Torn asunder once again, 
feeling this is too much to bear, 
regardless of my desires, 
I will carry the weight once again.  

Sorrow please leave, 
I didn't ask you to visit me, 
just go and never return. 

There just aren't enough tears, 
I am spent, 
a damn run dry, 
I still wish for more to weep, 
there is only a void.

I had to write to get this out, this pain that is running over, she was only a cat, but she was my little buddy...

I've had cats in my past. It hurt like hell to have to put them to sleep, so I feel your pain.
Great poem.

There is a lot of emotion in this write. Loss is hard to get over and you have had so many. Remember to be kind to yourself in action and thought. Rest, go for long walks, and cry. It will never be the same but it will get better. Hugs.
