Tombstone

Published by

on

Many years have passed

since that morning

when you closed the door

you left me alone with

the memory

of our shared life.

Then I thought I wouldn’t endure

my heart would break

under the weight of that unexpected separation.

Now, here you are

on this corner of the street

I see you smiling with all your heart

as if I never existed.

With my head bowed

and my heart crushed,

I return to the door

that you once closed like a tombstone,

sealing it forever.

    That was deeply moving, my friend.

    Even in pain and loss, God can bring peace and new life from what feels buried. Beautifully written.
