Very nice post to address the issue of sadness. I too have not been with loved ones in their time of passing. I did find your first stanza a bit awkward. Souls that are burdened perhaps, rather than burden. Also, a bit of an echo with 'cracks', used three times in four lines. Well done, good luck in your contest. Bill

A beautiful offering of free verse appeal for a departed friend... Certainly qualifies as a 'good' entry for the contest on subject matter. Best of luck at the polls! ;)

my heartache. --> [did you mean...?] my heart ache. {each time it appears...}

First sorry for the loss of your friend.
Your poem is a fitting tribute and story of a life lost.
It also is asking for her to rest in peace and be surrounded by love.
The words you used makes your reader be aware of the suffering of others and help them find peace but for you to find peace after not being able to be there at the time. Your poem frees you of any guilt you feel.
Well done Rest in Peace Denise.

This is beautifully done and such a tribute to Denise who has gone way too soon. This pulls at your heart strings and must have been difficult to share. You did a good job and I wish you luck in the contest. A great contender. This is indeed 'sad'.

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend, I know this had to be hard to write. Thank you for sharing. Good luck in the contest. Stay safe and stay healthy. Shouldn't burden be burdened?
