The Eulogy

13/12/2020 – Poem a Day Compilation



No words come

I am bereft

Of what there is to say



My hand won’t write

This day won’t end

The grief won’t be held at bay



I take the pen

And set it down

Let the tears fall free



This is no time

For eloquence

It is the time to see



What has been

And always will

Yet feels so far away



I cannot touch

I cannot hold

But stays with me every day



The pain is fresh

My heart is broke

I want to be alone



I close my eyes

And see you there

Imagining the smell of your cologne



I miss your face

I crave your smile

I fear what is in store



Where are you

When I need you?

I don’t want to do this anymore
