There is no greater wound,
Than to suffer a loss,
For it leaves behind a rift,
That can never be crossed.
Only memories remain,
A reminder of their love,
Things to remind you,
That they now watch from above.
The pain will never truly leave,
A constant ache of the soul,
But it's proof of how they touched us,
How their lives played a critical role.
They will always be a piece of you,
In your mind and in your heart,
Their love will always remain,
Even though they had to depart.
