For My Dear Sister Nat

Standing here in the silence alone, recalling now the pain and suffering you’d shown
You were in such great despair and it saddens me to think you thought that no one gave a care
You were such a very beautiful young soul and your untimely passing has touched us all
Your sadness caused you so much heartache and pain, so in this life you felt you could no longer remain
Your passing has caused us such great despair because Natalie Dearest Sister we really did care
So sorry we didn’t better show this to you, so sorry that you had felt so blue

My Brother Phil

 

For my brother Phil.

 

Your  life  was taken to soon

without warning

Of course I  am still feeling

the depth of your great loss

I  need to right now

it keeps me near to you

 

I have found only one problem  with your  life,

it caused your death

 

Now I can’t see you like I used to, like I want to

What my eyes can’t see, my heart feels

you dwell in the deep recesses  of my inner being

where no harm or pain can reach

To a Stillborn Sister

By Andrea Gabrielli.


How do you love a person
Who never got to be,
Or try again to see a face
You never got to see?

How do you mourn the death of one
Who never got to live,
When there's nothing to feel good about
And nothing to forgive?
