Watching Tears

Mind rattling, shaking thoughts around within sadness and loneliness, giving rise to messages of hope and conscious- ness. Watching as tears rise and fall like waves of the ocean, washing over, purifying my mind of sorrow with their lov- ing balm. Lost, forlorn, aimlessly walking through the darkness of loss and grief, lying awake night after night, alone in what used to be our bed. Crying because you're not here any longer, finally falling into a torturous and restless sleep throughout this dismal night without you, my dear.
