People die. And with that they leave behind an abyss. In one room, amongst sob and shock and stare and a sinking feeling looming large your world would have fallen apart. And nobody knows.
Nobody ever can. The cynic smirks when they offer you words.
What were they thinking? Don’t they know that moment words are just sounds, echoes of a redundant now, which simply glide above and around you, and never through you? That moment all you have passing through you is just a colossal barrenness, engulfing your blood pumping machine which resonates with the raucous white noise of a simple truth. People die.
Words never seem shallower. More crimson. I don’t know what helps. I merely silently stand. Alongside.

That touched a chord deep within. I am so sorry for your loss. Mere words again. But sometimes, they are all one has.
Take care
Oh.. death, an inescapable truth.. a reality and well, accepted by many but few are still there who don't.. it takes a lot of heart to write something like this.
Yes so true....i am always lost on words to say when i hear of someone's death. It just leaves me so over whelmed and distraught that i don't know what to say...u can't even say that "I know how it feels" coz u cant feel it until it happens to someone close...
I can say that coz i lost my nani last week.
On such occasions words cease to matter......yet it is the inescapable reality we all have to face...
**Don’t they know that moment words are just sounds, echoes of a redundant now, which simply glide above and around you, and never through you?
A heart-wrenching line that says it all.
And so do I, stand beside, silently. I think that speaks more.

Death, the darkness brought-
by the overflow of light.
The abyss, the hollow,
the silence and the plight.
I am sure people dont mean it and are doing whatever they think is best.I too prefer to stand silent and letting them know I am there for them always.
very well writen and yes r true... words seem superficial and nothing can help...
Death is the only one that separates and unites.Any other thing in the world isn't possible to make such relation(of course Love is exception,which I believe has the power to unite and separate).
Take care,

Suffering fuels heart, and deprivation produces great poets.
William Carols says:" If it ain't a pleasure, it ain't a poem". Your text relates to poetry rather than to prose.
Though the phrase "colossal barrenness" is not perfectly apply each other but still sweet and poetic.
Anwesa's comment is poetic and highly expressive and persuasive.
it's sweetest when a poetess comments on her sister's poetry.
it is really tough to console someone when they lose a living soul...i also feel such a sense of worthlessness then that despite having always something to say for everything...i cannot then find any words being able to tumble down my mouth...
i guess sometimes silence speaks better than volume of speech
beautiful thought again cin:-)
Death is an eventuality.. think it like the purpose comes to an end it is time for a new purpose .. a new life in some far far away...
I know it is hard but time will heal ...
Sometimes words help and sometimes they don't. My Grandmother lost her daughter last year and needed someone to talk to ... and I would like to believe that it helped. While there are others who just need to know you are there and no words would ever console!
Beautifully written Cin!
