the death of a loved one

I dedicate this poem to my late papaw david.

       When someone you truly love dies you are overcome with all

these strong emotions like rage and guiltiness.But the one that always wins is 

sadness.You try so hard not to cry during the day just to go home at night cry

uncontrollably a river of sad filled tears. You think of all the good times you two had

and then you sink in to an elaphant sized depression.Knowing you can never do those

things agin for as long as you live.Every days a struggleit feels as if your dragging

two billion pounds behind you.You struggle every day to keep you head held high

when it feel as if your sinking in to a black whole of undiscovered territory.You feel

so weak almost as if you were carved out of ice. The sadness varies between days.Some

days you feel fine others you feel like some one has reached in your chest and

yanked your heart out and stomped it to the ground.
