It was quiet in the house today,
Some might know the kind.
Not from the whir of the world around,
But silence in the mind.
I tried to find from where it came,
Then I remembered clear.
There is always a sense of stillness,
Whenever you’re not here.
I feel my heart weighed down with loss,
And not only my own.
My heart is breaking for broken hearts,
Lost inside our home.
We see a hole wherever we look,
A space you used to fill.
Even as we move ahead with time,
We will love you still.
