They Come To Sit Until They Leave Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

A Tragedy effecting someone personally,
Is an emotional wound that is left.
And no one expressing to show an empathy,
Should demand with an expectation to get...
That one who has had a heart to break,
To immediately get over it.
Since this experience takes,
So much more to recover than another...
Who has yet not been through this,
To believe these memories reminisced...
Are easily remembered to just as easily forget.
They come to sit until they leave 'if' they ever do.
