Can you die from sadness, can you die from being alone?
Is it so easy that the world just drops out beneath you
You have no realization
You’re gone.
Can you die from sadness, can you die from being alone?
Is it just a matter of time that you sink beneath the
rubble
You’re dust.
You’re bone.
Can you die from sadness, can you die from being alone?
Is it losing touch with the earth and world around you
You have no family
You have no home.
Can you die from sadness, can you die from being alone?
Is it a just a matter of dealing with all of the pain
You have no absolution
You have no stone.
I love the form (the repetition of the 1st line in each stanza, and the rhyming in the last lines, do their job brilliantly) as well as the content in your lovely poignant comment on this emotion, Karie. Keep writing.
