Grief

I grieve,
The loss is heartbreaking...
I am a contestant
In a race to my diminishment...
I am a passenger
As I watch,
Lifeless,
Powerless,
As my hopes
And dreams
Shrink into yesterday.
Where was this one,
Full of hope
And recklessness,
Where has he disappeared
Who has he become,
And I grieve
And I mourn
At his passing.
