Loss

Loss

“It will be alright; your life will go on and you can learn to love another.”
But what if I can't love again,
What if my heart has been broken and I am no longer capable of love?

“Just keep your chin up and focus on the wonderful things life has to offer.”
But what if there is nothing life has to offer me anymore,
What if all I can see is this darkness, this pain?

“Then.....all you need to do is breathe, focus on breathing.”
But what if I can't even breathe,
What if I can't remember how?

I have lost the love of my life,
The light of my eyes,
The breath of my lungs.

These things have been stolen from me,
And all I can remember is loss and pain,
And I can't remember how to just breathe.
