I am sorry

When I say I am sorry for your loss

It may sound perfunctory

Trite even.

 

But what I mean is

 

I am sorry

that you wake in the night gasping for breath,

heart racing in agony.

 

I am sorry

that you will know a liftetime

of what ifs and could have beens.

 

I am sorry

that you ache for one more minute with your love,

knowing it can never be.

 

When I say I am sorry for your loss,

please know that my soul is reaching out to yours

in understanding and trying very hard to take away

just one little ounce of your pain.

 

Donna Ashworth ‘Loss’
