Not a Goodbye
The crushing darkness
relentlessly, with no remorse
steals the light, once bright,
leaving but thin, drooping shadows
in the place of
former radiance.
A trace remains, but flickers,
and mercilessly points back to the
light, once bright, now dying.
That one, once so close,
will always now be distant,
inching away at the glacial speed of unstoppable pain.
No matter how near in loss,
so far away...
In loss.

I am sorry. If your loved one is inching away at the glacial speed of unstoppable pain, it's a hard thing to watch. A hard providence, to be sure.
