It's been one year, but in my soul
that moment in time yet remains
Even now, the anguish takes over,
as my cheeks just fill with stains
Twelve months were frozen
in that one instant in time
Fifty-two weeks of sorrow
too relentless to define
For 365 days, anguish persisted
Life as I knew it, had ended
Searching for my sanctuary
on the pathway of time suspended
In the last 8,760 hours
the lunar light revealed your face
The faintness of your presence
an aura to fill the blank space
525,600 agonizing minutes
weigh too heavily to endure
The echoing of that silence
persistently knocks at my door
As the rhythm of sands sifted
through the hourglass of woe
I counted each subtle grain,
as it trickled down so slow
Sadness lies inside my heart
remembrance still beckons
The sorrow now counted
in 31,536,000 Seconds
Into timeless grief, enslaved
and bound is what I've become
A year since your untimely death
my shattered spirit is still numb
