No Closure Your strangled voice echoed down the stairwell;Horrific words, a dagger to the heart.Like a heavy anvil, the sorrow fell…A bone crushing weight that tears one apart. Emotions scatter like leaves on the breeze;A free spirit, you reveled in your youth.Your beautiful soul riddled with disease…We struggle to accept this painful truth. No closure,Continue reading “No Closure”
