Loss Of A Loved One.

She watched him move,
Move away from the house,
The house and from her heart.
She knew he'd be changed,
Changed on return,
Now he and she were apart.

A tear ran down,
Ran down her cheeks,
And her hair fell forward to hide.
The was a lurching sickness,
Sickness and chaos,
That tormented her inside.

It was a loss,
A loss she grieved,
One she'd known would come.
And now it was here,
All she felt,
Was a cold, unnerving numb.
