In The Wake Of Your Loss Poem by Tabitha Nyssa DiNola DiNola

In this ocean of grief is where I stand, each memory of you the grains of sand. The smiles, the laughter, the times we shared, are now the waves that pull me under. My heart, my soul have been torn asunder. The great big hugs all warm and strong, have now become a sirens song. They lure me in with memories so happy yet sad, they make me question if I'm going mad. The waves of sorrow and aching woe get higher with each waking hour, soon they will be taller than a tower. The ache of your absence still strong and new, I know not what I should do. Do I stop treading in this ocean of grief and succumb to the waves of emotion, or do I remain in constant motion? I am tired now this fight unending, your death, your passing has been upending.
