take away the pain, please

the car accident is over,

with news spreading all over the papers.

the funeral is over,

with many sleepless nights.

everything is over.

but he left behind her,

and many broken hearts.

helplessness, she is.

a missing piece in the jigsaw puzzle,

that's how her life is.

as cruel as life can be,

crying herself to sleep,

watching video clips repeatedly,

hoping to catch his scent,

and yet,

putting a front in front of us.

Is that the way to heal?

will time heal all wounds?

how long?

i stand before her,

with nothing to take the pain away from her.

because he's dead,

and nothing will change that.
