POETRY | On losing someone you knew you'd lose

​It is a soft hum
A whisper
A knife slowly leaving the chest
It is a gradual losing
An anticipated goodbye
And you yearn so much
To focus only on now
On today
That today is beautiful
That today
She is still here
There will be plenty of days for tomorrow
Plenty of moments for memories
Of her voice
Her smile
Her laugh
But now
She is still here
It is a soft and sad hum
A gradual losing
An anticipated goodbye
