This was a poem I wrote about a week after my very best friend in the whole world was killed in a freak accident at age 35. No critique is necessary. I'm just putting it out there, in case someone else is going through the same kind of loss I've had to experience. It's been 4 years, and there's not a day that goes by that I don't think of her and miss her.
Giant, gaping hole in my soul-
tears well up and the familiar
lump
is in my throat.
eyes sore from daily sobs.
Missing her so much.
Wishing she was back.
Secretly wishing I could cry myself
to be with
her.
Away-
so my soul's injury could be
mended.
