In Loss

The tree grows sturdy
The rock withstands the raging floods 

Fate wields the axe
Turns the tide that will one day
Cause the stone to break 

Inside this painful dissonance
I command myself to dark oblivion 

Petrified and crippled 

My safe harbour lies in ruins
A life never to be lived
Joy never to be felt
Laughter never to be heard again 

Never to be healed again 

Estranged and marked by loss
I lash out at the unreachable
Disposable creature
Denying the uncomfortable 

Your soul will never cease to pulse inside me
