So lonely and sad I returned home
My wife had died in hospital
Leaving me to live a sad life
So I wiped the motes from my eyes
Feeling empty, frail and helpless
The taxi journey seemed endless
I spoke little on the ride back
My mind drifted back years ago
Both then young living a wild life
Then settling down with family
Seeking the days of happiness
The taxi driver delivered me home
I entered now our empty house
I choked with sorrow by myself
Then I lit a candle just for her

ReplyDeleteLife is so so sad when we lose our loved one...It is never the same again.
ReplyDeleteSo much sadness in this piece, but the candle at the end provides a glimmer of hope.
