Heartbroken

Three Word Wednesday

Sorry this is a little sad because I was sad when I wrote this.

Prompts:

Cling; verb: (Of a person or animal) hold on tightly to; adhere or stick firmly or closely to; remain very close to; remain persistently or stubbornly faithful to something; be overly dependent on someone emotionally.

It first it starts as a murmur

It can’t possibly be true

For no God would have taken

One as young as you

I cling to the belief

That it isn’t a fact

Until I see your obituary

Your face in a picture

In front of me

No doubt, no protestations

For it is obviously true.

Like a thief in the night

Something crept in

To whisk you away

My birthday was last week,

And you gave me wishes,

I’ll treasure every day,

For now you’ve gone away,

Dear friend I’ll always remember you

Your warm heart and your winning smile

Will dwell forever in my memories

And in my heart, empty space

Without you in my life.

RIP Rose July29,1959- May30,2012
