Loss

Drowning in a river of memories,
caught in a dam of stunned disbelief,
empty arms numbed, pierced heart,
left breathing stale air of bereavement,
lost in a deluge of dreary days
          getting up,
          lying down,
waiting for you to change
black and white to Technicolor.

Oh God, only you can make me whole
again!
