“The lord is within her she will not fail”


i have never felt so alone 

since you have left, in your place

loneliness has grown 

 

it taunts me with wishes 

and whispers in my ear

tells me i am broken 

leaving me with cold tired tears

 

without you i am a puzzle 

missing an entire part 

making it hard to see my picture 

difficult to understand what lies inside my heart 

 

i am happy for you, but i am sad without you

i am hoping you miss me, and i pray you remember i love you 

when you return the puzzle will be complete

 

but until then, without you

my mind and emotions will constantly compete 

only always ending up 

lying next to defeat 


The author's comments:

This piece is telling a story about how I’m feeling and what I’m going through after my older sister has left for the military. It’s about how my mentality is breaking down and my emotions are all over the place, and will continue to be until my sister comes home. I am unfamiliar with life without her. I have never gone more than one day without my sister and so the poem portrays my emotions and what I’m feeling without her.
