Help... I need a poem about loss

[gnome]

Why did you even think of searching DSF for such a question. That's a long shot.

Also I know no poems about loss.

[cryptical]

When I touch you
It feels like you're still there,
Then I take a closer look and you're gone.
No where to be found....
Somewhere on the ground.

I'm going to ignore you.
Not love you.
Not hate you.
Just not care about you.

Maybe one day you will be back...
But love I won't lack.

I must move on.
I can't keep on.
You've gone away
Why should I stay?

I don't have a choice,
I don't have a voice.

In silence...I deal with it
But I need to heal from it

I'll be fine, My life
will again be mine.

One Art

by Elizabeth Bishop

The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.

—Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.
