Pieces of you

losing someone special 
is like the sky losing its brightest star
the world continues to turn
but the light is dimmer
and the nights are longer
your absence echoes 
in every familiar place
a quiet reminder of a love 
that lingers in the spaces 
they once filled
time slowly moves forward
but a piece of their heart stays behind
holding onto the moments we once shared

  1. This poem touched my heart. My grandmother passed a few years ago and today I saw a cardinal bouncing along the new pile of sticks from a wind blown storm. He reminded me of her, they were her favorite bird. Now reading this, I think she has been looking down on me lately. Thank you 🙂
