P.S This poem is inspired by the thought of losing one's parents. That kind of loss turns the world upside down.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The era of love was no more,
gone soon, devastatingly quickly.
The realization was bone-chilling;
How was she going to keep on living?

Her loss shattered her and infected her.
The blistering pain tore her apart.
It took away her abilities, and her happiness;
Who thought love could do that?

Her future faded, and her emotions elevated.
She lost it all before she arose; potent.
