death of love

by emil - Not entered

what i fear most about being in touch with you again
is knowing what i truly miss from you
your life, your love, your spirit
i don't want to know how much i miss you 
or how much i may need your support and approval
i fear that i cannot survive in a world without you
being in touch with your goodness without feeling your presence terrifies me
i am afraid to feel anymore pain
i may resent my existence without you
i may see that my life has no meaning or significance without you
i am not the same person i was when you were here
i long to have a new and better relationship with you
free of regrets
i am a stronger person
i could be better for you now
i was a burden, but now i can take care of myself and of you too
but you are no longer here
i feel that i have failed you
i grew up too late
i wasn't enough to save us i was only a child
i miss you
i cannot change things
our family is gone, blown apart
all that is left is a broken mess
four pieces left alone, lost without direction
waiting for a life to pass 
waiting for hope to return
asleep in life, to numb the painful loss
i still wait for someone to return what i have lost
my own true love, one that never goes away
a forgiving, unconditional love
i have found no love greater than the one that i lost
with it, i lost my spirit, my life, my whole being
i need to create a world for myself
i need to feel free
i feel anger for my father, then i pity him
i feel sorrow for my mother, and hate myself
for allowing it to happen
i must protect myself when searching to replace a love that has no equal
for to have such a great love
a great deal of pain must surely follow
i need to love myself
i need to learn to trust others
i want peace, i wish to see beauty again
yet i focus on imperfection
i used to think that love was perfect
but it is not
i am hurt, angry and tired
i need to feel free
why doesn't the pain leave as quickly as it came
why did it have to be this way
why do i have to care

Reason for writing:

    to express my feelings about the murder/suicide of my parents
