Loss to Love

I was there when you fell from me,
In so many ways I could never believe.
Loved you with every fiber that I was—
Knew the scent you wore,
The way you tied your hair
And what made you smile when you were sad.
Just moments I had of you,
That day, that now seems years past
To touch you skin,
Hold hand in hand our lives.
Now it must be told,
A piercing arrow has struck us both
Down and around this nightly horror.
You were with me,
And I can’t stop thinking of you.
