The Pain Of Loss

This is for you, April.

The Pain of Loss
Andrew [1938Superman]

There's a buzzing in your head
That just won't seem to go away
Nothing feels real anymore
Nothing is real anymore
How can it be
How is this possible?
How can something so tragic
So terrible
So unfair
Be real?
It can't be
But it is
It must be a dream
But it's not
Then you start to feel it
The shock begins to fade into pain
And you wish
For a moment
That you could have the shock back
You wish you could hate
You wish you could rage
You wish you could fight it all away
But the will is gone
All that remains is pain
Growing by the second
It's an overcast day in your soul
With more than a slight chance of rain
The tears of pain are bled in large drops
And you wonder if they'll ever stop falling
If this storm will ever end
Or will it just drown the world?
It won't
It can't
The world goes on
Your world goes on
We all whether the storm
Sometimes
But no matter how thick the clouds
They can't abolish the sun
And they can't cover it forever
The rain will stop
The sky will clear
And we will do our best to pick up the pieces
And find our way back to the road
But we will never forget
We will never forget what was lost
But we will be grateful for what was not

I lost my 25 year old son over 2 years ago and this poem described myself and so many others. thank you and may god bless you. That was beautiful thanks. It will be included in my favorites.

Thank you for your beautiful testament to the everyday reality of millions of parents whose beloved children are missing in adoption. Most of us never see our children again. Those who took our children and threw us away would have been more merciful to kill us. We know this now. No one warned us it would be a nightmare, and a loss that never ends. We are here for you, sisters and brothers. You are not alone.

I really love this. Just one thing ....it is "weather" not "whether"... you got to correct that...
