Forever Changed

Forever Changed

The loss of my son is a searing pain,
too great for my heart to bear;
rivers of grief spill down my cheeks.

I gaze upon the days ahead and
wonder what I'll do with all the
empty spaces.

My life made a screeching turn,
leaving me with choices
I never wanted to make
and loneliness I loathe.

Nothing will ever be the same.
My life is forever changed.
