Before

Freak accident

No time for goodbye

Four years later

Still questions why

Misses him so

Life empty

Tries to fill void

Unsuccessfully

Aware grief disquiets

What is there to say

Time heals

Usual cliches

Words useless

Absurd

None exist

Offer comfort

She wants him here

Life as before

Learnt to mourn

Behind a closed door
