losers weepers (1): the story of loss

i think there's hardly anyone who hasn't suffered the loss of someone dear. death takes a loved one away. but most of the times, i think life does. and i honestly do not know which pain is bigger. i guess losing someone to death is perceived as a reason for grief and seems something unfair. i find losing someone to life more saddening. losing touch with friends, growing apart from loved ones, falling out with parents, moving away from all those you've held dear for so long in life.
i am not a believer as the definition goes. i have no faith whatsoever in established faith. but i do believe in the soul and that it may live on after death. i also belive it can be maimed and twisted, as your limbs may be maimed and twisted. and i do believe you lose a bit of it every time a loved one dies, one you have bound your soul to. however, there is the remote comfort that the soul is out there, much likely in a better place. and the distance that separates you can and will some day be bridged.
if you lose someone to life, there's a gap that no one may close again.
it's filled with all the things each of your lives holds. those things you cannot erase and you cannot walk around. they are here to stay, blocking your path, maiming your soul as it tries to reach around. blessed are those whose loved ones' bodies have died away but whose' spirits wait somewhere for a joyous reunion. blessed when compared to the maimed souls on earth.
