Sadness Holds On Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Life breaks apart like an egg being cracked open,
everything being emptied out, we eat what we cook
and live off of it.

Loss is similarly different, when losing someone
we love, we are broken apart, heart, soul and mind,
we are emptied of their presence.

Yet, there is only food for thought, our memories
keeping and storing the beauty of our every experience
together, love shining through every image and vision.

Totally and beautifully, our sadness still holds onto
the touch, smile, laughter and love they have shown us
throughout our lives together.
