She wished she knew

She sees those faces every once in a while,

Smiling in comfort of that place they held dear,

Waking up became a massive trial,

For she knows that they won't be there.

Each time this occurs she tries to see it as a gift,

But she finds her cheeks wet as tears break free,

As the burden of those memories, these dreams never lift,

She finds herself desperate as it's them she wishes to see.

"Why must it seem beyond my reach?"

"Why is there nothing I can do?"

"Why is it that no matter how much I beseech

"The response I get is not what I need yet something I already knew? "

It seemed no answer had become the norm,

To which she'd become numb,

She found that hope was hard to form,

As she couldn't understand how they were gone.
