Loss of a love one
1991

Loss of a loved one shows through the heart,
To begin to explain it, there’s no where to start;Loss of a loved one is when family has died,You can feel the sadness when you’re alone and you’ve cried;Loss of a loved one is when someone goes away,Even though you love them, you can’t see them everyday;Loss of a loved one is when you wish they were near,To hug and hold you, or wipe away a tear;

The poem is about is about the pains and sorrows of losing a loved one, and how it reflects on the inside and the outside. The context it is written is one of someone who has lost someone important to them. This poem seems to be a confessional because it is expressing emotions and sorrows and the pains of losing someone. It is effecting the entire tone of the poem, the context that is. The rhyme scheme is that it is a ABAB rhyme scheme. "Died, Cried" "Away, Everyday". First off, the tone is very sad. It is addressing a situation that is very difficult for anyone, a situation that effects anyone. So the tone is a very deep, dark, and sad one. The whole poem has a very literal meaning to it. EVerything is straightforward and to the point and allows for the poem to be completely understood without any confusion as to what is being said. It seems as though there are a few simile's being used. Comparing the loss of a loved one to something else. The entire poem emits a very deep and emotional story, in a way.
