Death doesn’t stop suffering

If she is dead

How come I still feel her in me

If she is gone

Then why does my heart long to touch her still

Just one more time

Loss and sorrow

There is no reason or rhyme

Just an expanse of time

That stretches out

Too long

If she is dead

Why do I hear her still in my head

If she is dust

Why do I lust to taste her one more time

Loss, life and sorrow

Don’t look for tomorrow

Don’t care for today

I think of the past

And I drink away

To take away the pain

To stay numbed and sane

Death doesn’t stop the suffering

There is no peace to be gained

It’s the ones left behind

Who are left with the pain
