The Loss

a poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

You have gone far
Far away, into
To the grey mist
Of alcohol repression.
Once you were
Beautiful,
Sparkling green eyes
Embraced the world,
Now the sheen
Has gone.
You look down and
Will not see
How much I loved you then,
And how my love still
Walks with you, now
In your darkest of days.
