Search Results For "I Miss Him So Much"


Whenever I get these sudden ideas for poems, they never turn out as well as they seem they might initially. Anyway, like the title says, I went to a search engine and typed in "I miss him so much" to see what would come up. As I glanced through the 89 pages of results, I thought...what an odd thing, for so many to have this grief in common, though each person was speaking of something deep and personal within him or herself. A poem was born.

Search Results For "I Miss Him So Much"

Searching for others' turmoil
Or perhaps alleviating my own
These words I type in the form

Page after page of results
Link after link to people
Quietly mourning a loss

Gone are husbands, who went somewhere better.
Gone are children, with no choice in the matter.
Gone are young loves; they're searing, I've heard.

Gone are pets, hapless creatures they are.
Gone are soldiers, keeping up the cause.
Gone are friends, dead or far away.

Recollection of the past
Exploration of emotion
Consolation from strangers

All searching for safety
All reaching for relief
All wishing for a memory

Whether the ache and grief
Stem from the permanent
Or something more fleeting

Each offering this thought
A cry in unheeding silence:
"I miss him so much."

Just like me.
I miss him, too.
