Serenity slips away
As I remember you are gone.
The mask I wear
To hide the pain of your absence
Cracks and falls.
Crumpled corners frame your face
Smiling back
Frozen in a perfect moment in time.
Serenity slips away
When I see you in a crowd before
That pain in my heart
That crushes the illusion of you near.
Press play upon a screen
To help relive my dreams you are still here.
With eyes firmly closed
Face buried in your things I cling to sensations.
Your scent still lingers
On clothes that will never be worn again.
Only in my dreams
When you are close by me I feel
Your breath on my cheek,
Then for the shortest time
Serenity descends.

That could almost have been written for me Paula. It’s very true.

Thank you I am glad it was something you could relate to, I had so many people last year lose family and I wanted to try to write something about the loss without it been limited to one type of grief
Hugs right back at you xxx
