Lost You

The pain of losing a friendship

Moment of Silence
Left nothing but thoughts
Thought of a dear friend
Now far apart

Warm, hopeful feelings
Turned dark and empty
A soul so very cold
Missing the words and the eyes
So beautiful to hold

Disconnected from a heart
Once so very dear
Not sexual as some may think
The hardest thing of all
Loss of kinship and connection to be clear

Tears drip down
Mix with the ink in the poem
The words can continue to flow
Though the inkwell is empty below

Reviewing what happened
Knowing well the holes in my soul
Feeling puzzles pieces ripped out
Losing heat from the soul

Feminine warrior scream
Weakened as the heat passes out
Masculine warrior steps up
He knows his stoicism will protect her love
