The subtle void at large

The visceral solace by pieces

This imperceptible oblivion

Touched by the incoherent elements

Calling to move from the fringes of past into future

Which now seems to be an abyss

It will forever be the pain undone.

The toddler whose cheeks I kissed,

With whom I rode my tricycle,

The child with whom I played in glee,

With whom I shared my everything

The immature who never matured

Suddenly pulls out from the living orb

Leaving us in a vortex of despair

It will forever be the pain undone.

For the world it was the grief in brief

As "The time heals everything" is their belief

But I see the zeal grappling with silence

With silence being the winner, an unfamiliar affair

The aching heart refuges in a smile

And the etched memories refusing to ebb

It will forever be the pain undone.
