In your private life
When you lose someone to
Death or
Divorce or
Drugs
It can feel like your heart
Is caving in
As your mind realizes
Your life will never be the same
Without that person
All hope gone for the plans
You made together
Grief, sorrow, anger, love,
Memories
All mix together forming
Utter sadness
Sometimes
You heal
Other times
You do not
Even when you hold onto
Belief that God knows best
The sadness
Clouds your mind
Engulfs your heart
As you watch your private life
Fall completely apart
