Tears stung her eyes
And her voice cracked
As she remembered
Her loss hung heavy
Since he, what?
Even now she can’t say
it
Could not utter the
word
Euphemisms fill her
head
Crossed over, left this
world,
Gone to a better place
He’s in the next room
Passed away
Other people can say
dead
But she cannot
Seven years have
passed
Since it happened, her
loss
And she lost so much
A husband, lover,
friend
Partner, confident
Soul mate
And even now it hurts
Though the wound
Is an old one
It is still unhealed
Still vivid red, angry
Time is a great healer
They said to help her
To comfort her
But she thinks they
lied
