When I Was Alone For A While

When I got the news
that you had passed
I was suddenly alone
in the midst of my ordinary
target cluttered world
wishing instead I had been there
to hold your hand
as you struggled with you last breathe
sharing your fear and pain
and heartbreak.
Instead, I was alone for a while
under a sky that felt bright.

A critical moment in life! The predicament is to choose what immediately is trying one's ability!
