Simply Put
By Lyndie Sorenson
Simply put ...I really miss you
I've continued to ask why
Life took this dreadful wrong turn...
Now I often sit and cry
Simply put ...my heart is broken
Most people have no clue
Unless they live this heartache...
They don't know what I've lived through
Simply put... I long to hug you
Share a gentle warm embrace
Often spend each day just wishing....
This truth could somehow be erased
Simply put... I can't remember...
The last time I heard your voice
Memories are often painful...
I was not given any choice
Simply put... I know I'm grieving
Won't get better through the years
I have learned some coping methods...
To accept this new frontier
Simply put... I'm good at masking
Denying what I feel
For I know deep down inside me...
I will never truly heal
Simply put...I really miss you
No one knows the pain I bear
Simply put... there is no reason
Losing you was just not fair
In loving memory of Joey and his heavenly buddies
Lyndie
