No words to say,my heart felt cold.
I waited for tears,but nothing flowed.
No feelings to share,no anger to unfold.
I listened as her life story was quietly told.
So young,so sweet,and now she's gone.
What amazing stories she can make is now untold.
So fast to end the life she has known.
And all that was left are her memories for our hearts to hold.
And through the emptiness that fills my soul,
I remember this word that brings so much joy.
And though I know I've used it to make life full,
I wonder now what FOREVER is for.
(In memory of a truly loving person.Beautiful inside and out.Maya...gonna miss you ,cousin.)
(P.S.Posting this again for Gooseberry Garden's Poetry Picnic .It's been a year but I can still sometime feel her presence.)

It really does express people's feeling...once we are stumbled/ lost something i guess the best way is to not look behind us and continue to live our lives happily! Don't trap inside the pain >"<

Hi,Wendy!!
Thanks.Kinda having a writer's block right now,but hopefully can write one,soon.
Good day to you!
And so the butterfly has really grown as a writer, the images and moods you painted by your words on this particular poem are so condensed, it fills the heart with not just sorrow but a profound emotion of loosing and remembering.
Dear Ronald,
Thanks so much for commenting and following my Blog.Haven't written anything after this,I guess it's about time I do.
Hope you can come and visit,again.Thank you for the inspiration,always!
Dear June, how are you ? I hope you'll be always fine, I wish you & family a happy lunar new year ^^
新年おめでとうございます ;)
Hi,Khuong San!

Tenderly written and expressed! Nothing sadder than to see a fruit fall before its time.
Thank you so much for taking time to read my work.
Yeah,you're right. So painful to see a life just starting to glow lose it's brightness.
Hello. :)
I want to thank you for the kind and encouraging words that you left on my blog yesterday night (well it was nighttime where I am). :)
I was very busy, and have only found the time to leave this word for you, today. :)
I feel very honored to be someone who inspires you to write. :) Thank you for giving me that privilege. I want you to know that you area always welcome over at my place, and I would be happy to hear from you, often. :)

And...
I feel your pain in this piece of yours...
But forever....forever is there and here inside us. And you may have lost someone...but she lives on...and into forever.
You just miss her, because your journey here on earth still continues...but now without her.
Thanks you so much for taking time to view my blog.It was really amazing to have found your blog.Been awhile since i had time to surf blog catalog and i was real glad when i found your blog.
Will be my pleasure to drop by as often as i could.It is a beautiful and warm blog.
And I guess you're right.Sometimes bitterness tends to cloud what's in front of us.Especially when ti's a sudden one.
I will miss her ,a lot.But i have her memories,my family do.And I hope in time we can think of her again with a smile.I hope soon,real soon.
you have brought out the very sadness in it...
Thank you so much for the compliment!
Would be a pleasure to see you here,often.Have a good day!

Hi,Jessa Irene!
Thanks for dropping by and commenting!
Hope you can visit,again.
I don't know what to think about this poem? But my brother who past away at a very young age came to my mind when I was reading it.
I'm sorry to know about your loss.I guess all my emotions att he time gave result to this poem.
I guess wasn't ready to let go,then.
A retched yet beautiful word display, truly a bitter delight to read.
I feel the sadness in this and the question - 'forever' does seem meaningless in the face of loss, especially of the young. A well-written piece.
No words to say,my heart felt cold.
I waited for tears,but nothing flowed.
No feelings to share,no anger to unfold.
I listened as her life story was quietly told....
it is indeed a divine piece,
the lose is huge,
feeling numb is natural and your words have demonstrated that emotions perfectly.
Thanks for linking up with potluck,
Cheers.

This is such a touching poem of loss. Very beautiful.
great poem. great blog..
The beauty of life is the souls we connect with. Beautiful poem.
Your poem made me speechless.. It is touching and well, the feeling of doubting is intense..
Anyway, I found you through Monday Potluck, and here are my entires – different feelings for both..

See you around..

A lost is hard to take no matter how you slice it ... especially when the person is close to you.
this is a great piece and so glad you posted it again...I did not get to read it before and it has so much to say....blessings...bkm
A sentimental piece. Forever is a double-edged sword and can be just as unbearable either way it swings.
great poem. bitter sweet. nice job!
This is so poignant--gave me the chills. And the image is perfect.
very touching, June.
Dear June
I believe that the 'Forever' is usually for nothing.. but then sometimes somethings fills the space so much that nothing becomes every thing, forever. I liked this tribute to a loved one so much.. your words took hold of me 'I waited for tears,but nothing flowed'.
Thanks for sharing...

This sort of thing is almost impossible to deal with; and, the writing of it can be healing. We hope so. I'm sorry for your loss. I took this to be autobiographical.
Well done in any case. And I do love the photo and also your blog them. Lovely!
Here from potluck. Thanks for your fine contribution. I valued reading it.
