When A Loved One Dies Poem by Eric Ekinde

The feeling indelibly is etched in your memory
You get collapsing
And you don’t want to hear any other story
And start to cry inconsolably,
for your loved one is gone totally,
you are seen in states so shocking
and your initial position is one of disbelief
as you see life, incomparable to that of a leaf
when a loved one dies.

You feel like its a dream,
you are with a woven basket near the stream,
hoping you will awake to find its not true
but you are surprised to see that amidst all you have been through,
you tremble in pains so terrible
as though you were kicked with a table
as that friend who was always there
no more again will be there.

From depression, you may suffer for years
as mere words cant convey the despair or dry the tears
or override the numbness, disbelief of such a loss,
at times not even presents from friends or acquaintance of your Boss
in one way can make you get over such a loss
as you can only try to get use to it than to grieve
and start thinking of how to be weeding his grave
and to tell people that he was brave
when a loved one dies.
