Swirls

Pain living and breathing,

Closing about like a snake

Suffocating, piercing

Circled my heart

Anger, hurt, hate

Blame slides like oil

Touching everything

Tainting in dark film

Voices and questions

Cry in my mind

As I seek to shut them

Shake them away

He is Gone away,

I cannot feel him

His smile his laugh

His eyes bright and blue

How can I find peace

When sadness is all around

Tears stain the eyes

Of family and friends

My only hope is eternal

Though no comfort now

I know this is not the end

I must remember
