For Leila

by Beautiful Oblivion   Jan 24, 2020


You left with no warning.
One day here and the next not.
Why you?
It’s been so long
Your voice forgotten
Your face is fading.
My memory betrays me.
I cling to my memories of you
They’re all that’s left.
I visit your grave.
I pose with your headstone.
I cry and talk to you.
I miss you more than ever.

    A terribly sad and moving write. I am sorry for your loss and sorry that it still affects you so keenly.

    All the best,

    Ben
