About the Poem

The loss of a loved one is difficult at best, and often we can't accept that they're gone. So we choose not to believe and attempt to recover that person through someone else.

Replacement

by Jerikoh

Your passing holds no interest
for again I carry on
empty on the inside
I await another dawn.

Endless searching for another,
a substitute at best,
someone I pretend is you
in hopes that I may rest.

Their arms offer no comfort
no solace in their touch
I pretend they all are you
the one I miss so much.

this poem touched me. its very hard to forget, or ever find a replacement. as i see it, the pain of someone leaving may never stop, but it will get easier as time passes.

this poem really touched my heart. as you might have read in my email, i lost a boyfriend and the love of my life only a couple of months ago. it's been really hard for me and for so long i've been trying to find a replacement but i can't. your poem touched me so deeply. keep writing!

This is s touching poem. I lost my Grandad on new years eve which lead me leaving many questions on life. This poem is true on how when we see the same age group or say the same colour of hair as the person whom we lost we do try to compare but nothing beats them.

I enjoyed this poem very much. Simple yet so beautiful and touching in it's simplest form. I have lost a friend 3 years ago next to me in a car accident,and every day I look for someone in hope's of finding her face,if not just a smile or that famous twinkle she held in her eyes. I search and search and search. And feel exactly like you. My condolences for your pain as well.
