About This Quote
A person who has lost someone that they love is often filled with emotions of grief. The feelings of despair, sadness, and anger are all understandable, but what's often not fully understood is how these people go on with their lives after losing the person they love. Sometimes it takes months or even years for the pain to subside, but eventually, life goes on. This poem speaks about the pain that comes with losing someone you love, but it also highlights the healing process that happens after that loss.
When you take away someone's light, you take away their source of energy and strength. How do people go back to living? What do they do without that special someone? The answer can be found in this poem because it describes how a person can live on after losing someone they love. It's not easy to understand how one goes about getting through life without experiencing those moments of overwhelming grief, but it can be done because all one needs is a way to continue living.
