Good-Bye

The loss of a loved one
We all know it’s not the greatest feeling
It is not even a bad or sad feeling
It is the worst feeling
They tell you to just move on
Live, Love, and Laugh
It’s harder than that
Losing someone is not just losing an item
Not just losing a piece of information
Or a cell phone or car keys
It is losing a person, not a thing
It is losing someone you can never get back
It is losing a piece of your life
It is losing a chapter in the story of your life
To some people, it is losing EVERYTHING
I know this feeling
You know this feeling
Everyone knows this feeling
It is not a good feeling
It is the worst feeling in the world
You can't even sleep for days
You just think about them all day and night
It is even worse when you don't even get to say
“Good-bye"

My inspiration was from my family. At the time I wrote this poem, I was losing a lot of my family members.
