And Then There Were Three

When you read about loss, it's a quick thing 
It's there one second, over the next. 
It's called "loss", as if it will lighten the blow 
Like something that is gone for a little while 
A day. Maybe a week 
Like something that will come back 
If you just search hard enough. 
The word loss does nothing to encompass 
The feelings, the crushing realization 
The end of everything that you have ever known 
The end of a mother 
Someone you know will never come back. 
No matter how much you look for them.
