So hard to put the words down
to give them meaning
to show the emotions
that ravage this fragile heart.
So hard to make them realise
in this letter
that you mean
meant
so much to me
so much
that my life now
has lost all significance.
So hard to rise into another day
to ride the wave of sorrow
to carry on as if my world
is okay when it is not.
