This morning the sun was shining
But by evening the sky had darkened.
This morning the fire burned
But the evening was clouded with smoke.
Though they whispered the truth
And I saw your casket go by.
I still look out my window
Waiting for you to come by.
Though I am told
My hope is in vain.
I still wait for you at the bus stop.
I still believe you're alive.
I stand beside the window
Watching the darkening sky.
The rain drops reflecting
The tears I cannot cry.
The world has come to an end.
No need to rise tomorrow.
And yet it will come,
Without you.
The sun no longer shines.
The moon and stars have dimmed.
I see the darkening sky
And wish the end were here.
You are gone
And I, with you.
Leaving a hole
No one can fill.
I stand by your grave.
The rain coming down.
Transfixed by the stone
That bears your name.
The wind blows hard
And the rain beats fast.
But all I hear
Is laughter echoing from the past.
I feel the tears begin.
Mixing with the rain.
And as I close my eyes to weep
I see your smiling face.

- Description: This is how I feel when someone close to me has died. And, it's how I'll always feel, though maybe not as strongly one day.

- Very sincere. Poetry can be a very natural medium for feelings.
