Empty inside,
     Hard to breath.
          Difficulty sleeping at night,
               Cannot close my eyes.
Unpleasant thoughts that repeat over and over again.

I want to return to a normal day,
     With bad memories slowly fading away. 

          My cries go unanswered. 
Asking why this happened?

So now I know...what it feels like to lose a loved one.


This is for a friend suffering the pending loss of a family member.
