I have goosebumps :( !
You did so well writing this poem, I almost got stuck inside my thoughts, it has sad vibes everywhere, although it is not a happy things however it means you were very successful in passing through the state of emotions and message you want , by writing this poem.

It's hard to believe that this is not a true poem, every word hits hard like a blade, it cuts its way under the skin Larry..

Your expressions were not even overused or cliche, when one loses their soul partner they do die a little bit by bit on the inside.

It takes a lot of courage and love for life to be able to recover from such a loss.

Your words were just amazing and your closing line, floated away somewhere makes me want to burst in tears!

with that said, I wish a long life for all your beloved ones.

Missed all your beautiful work!
