Disaster struck
And here I stand
Staring at the ashes of what
Once was life
Can I find
My next foot forward
How does one move on when all
Hope is lost
Can I find the spark
As I grasp within the dark
For the part of me that once knew how to cope
That last part of me that still clings to hope
Life moves on
But you are still gone
Daily things remind me of how
I loved you
Memories
Encircle me
As I learn to face each day without you
By my side
Can I find the spark
As I grasp within the dark
For the part of me that once knew how to cope
That last part of me that still clings to hope

This conveys well the feelings of what is lost after a tragic event. Well done.
