Losing Chuck
You don’t know what it is like
The gravity of how it feels
Until you are strapped in it
Deep inside the pain of it
Trying to break free
From the chains of reality
Unable to understand
How you got here anyhow
It doesn’t seem real
You question its truth
But it doesn’t feel like
It’s ever going to end
Trying to understand
Where to go?
And how to feel now
It seems so hopeless
Endless tears and emotions full
Life is not for those who have passed
But it leaves us feeling empty
And sorrowful
Harrowing experiences
Push us to the brink
Where we question our purpose now
And what it is we want from our lives
We have to ask ourselves
What would Chuck want?
As he remains a part of us
Loving and living in each of us
Choosing to honor him
We learn how honor ourselves
But even laughter feels like a betrayal
Keeping us tied to our grief
It springs up everywhere
There are many people mourning
Holding our hands
Keeping us where we need to be
He has touched so many
And they all want to know
What happened?
And what they can do now
Many others feel sorrow
Just on hearing the news
It isn’t something you can share
Only tell
They don’t get it
Don’t understand
How could they?
They try anyway
Even those who have lost
Don’t get what it is like
Unless you have had an amazing brother
Vanish from your sight
Life
Is it worth it?
I question cause the answer is hard to find
I want to know but feel left behind
Love
Can it accomplish mighty deeds?
It didn’t save my brother
Oh how I wish my love for him
Would have taken him to safety
At least he knew
Without a shadow of a doubt
How I felt about him
How we all did
How we love him still
With all our whole self
As he is deep inside us
A major part of us
This part goes on
Residing strong inside
We will carry it forever
Carry him
He is not lost
Only from our eyes
Our hearts burst
With love and might for him
We will be reunited
When we ourselves have done what we came to do
Happiest of days to see our Chuck again
He’ll be a wise soul ready to lead us by then
For my life
My heart
My Chuck
I love you
