I really like this poem. From what I read, even though I may be wrong, it seems like the message behind it all is that without the feeling of love inside it's as if death itself is taking over.
thank you. The first poem I actually wrote a long time ago for my son's funeral. I wasn't allowed to be there so my fiance at the time read it to him after everyone left.
the second one doesn't flow as well because I wrote it when I was basically turning to alcohol and drugs to deal with my friend slipping in and out of a coma. I never changed it because it reminds me that when you try to cover up your problems it does effect the things you do.
