The cry of loss

Powerful, with everything you have, all consuming, like a child's cry. I passed by a woman who was crying. I wondered why she was crying the way she did. I couldn't think of anything but it being the cry of loss. You may cry when you're in pain. You may cry when you feel bad for yourself. You may cry when you haven't gotten what you want. But all those cries aren't as much out of control or out of hope's reach, as the cry of loss is. Its all you can do when you lose someone
