Jinxed June June left strong emotions, Quivering in her wake; Impossible to drown, Or quell the lasting ache. Life melted to insignificance, As soon as she was gone; Nothing left but a memory, Emptiness where life shone. The awful non-accidental truth realised, Unbelieved by her best friend, Changing lives forever, As hearts are slow to mend. The tragic unforgotten day, A coffin in a grave, Pouring rain and sudden sun, A mother try'ng to be brave. The following weeks and months are plagued, By a stark and empty chair, An empty place at ev'ry table, A loss we have to bear by Eleanor M. Cole, 13th July 1998 dedicated to my friend Helen. |
