Three Stars

Currently having to live without them. This is poetry written for my little boys. .

Hollow ache in the deep pit of my soul
The life I created
Yanked away
So close. . .
And yet so far.
A painful void in my arms
The space were you always were, now empty.
A miasma of agony that encircles my heart.
Two little faces
Looking up at me
Eyes full of questions
What answers to give?
Searching the cold night sky
Orion’s belt
Three stars to see
One for each of us
Wishes for thee.
Biding time
Love shall prevail
You are the two halves of my heart,
Yet I feel like a shell.
I am with you always
That much is true.
Even if I cannot be there,
I am always thinking of you.
