In That Moment Poem by Jade Heathfield

The sun still shone,
The birds still sang,
The children laughed,
The world went on.

But in that moment...

My body ached,
My eyes were raw,
My hands now empty,
You are no more.

Our last embrace,
Could never end,
You pulled away,
And I could not mend.

Those dark brown eyes,
I knew so well,
No longer mine,
And nor your smell.

I say goodbye,
But hope it's not,
How can you go?
Look what we've got?

You turn away,
Towards the door,
And then I know,
We are no more.

So now you're gone,
And it's just me,
I must be brave,
And you must see...

That in that moment...

I can be strong.
