lost of a family, lost of another loved ones
genuine sadness, overflowing sorrows
people are crying, with their tears unseen
hearts are aching, smiles are fading
having lost someone important, their other half
they are slowly whithering, dying from within

friends, family, and other close ones
those who are still around,
those who are left behind,
being there for one another
to become each other's support
is all there is to do, is all that has to be done
in order to ensure that those whom they care for
are strong enough to carry on life as usual
they themselves have to be strong
so as to become a pillar of support for others..
