W3 Prompt # 215...The Skeptics Kaddish

 WHAT IT IS THAT MUSIC IS TRYING TO SAY



the grief
the enormous loss
the pain of losing you
all the fibres of my being 
broken
how am i supposed to go on
it's just not possible
without you the love of
my life

  1. This is the stark emotional reality of loss - the short lines and fragmented structure mirror the sense of being broken and overwhelmed - so raw 💔

  2. My sister-in-law was hit and killed by a train last night. We are devastated. Your poem said it all.
