Loss

watching a child mourn a loss
resonates a longing
deep inside of me

how she walks away
far into the hidden corners
of her mind

oh god she is too young

no words will heal the scars
memories scratch them raw
revealing a living pain

loss is always too soon

while another mourns for her
she unknowingly turns and lingers
in her

self
eyes focused inwards
creating confusion by too much thought
of a single being
in this vast universe

all enveloped by four aching letters
