Loss

Posted Jan 23, 2021 · 9 lines · 7 critiques

You cannot know the pain
To be on your own again
They say it's better
To have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all
But I wonder every day
If those who said those words
Full know the cost of a broken heart
Aching hopelessly.

"Dear Dandini, the feeling of love and loss comes through with power. Beautifully expressed. I have lost too many loved ones, including two sons, aged 21 and 29 years. It was many years ago, but has marked me forever. I'…"
