The Falling Heart

The poem under analysis is take from the compliation of works by an author unknown. It's called "The Falling Heart." The author has obviously gone through someone's untimely death.  The poem seems to be written in present day based on the words in context and the overall feeling of the poem. This poet employs a wide usage of metaphors, similes, and other poetic devices to help make their work stand out and have their reader capture their meaning of their story. Such as, "my heart beats like a silent thunderstorm. "
With regard to "The Falling Heart", his poem perfectly depicts what goes through someone's mind when they've lost someone very close to them. First of all, the author sets the scene and goes from a very dark feeling to almost no feeling at all. Like at the end of the poem it seems as if they've given up. Therefore, this poem pulled me in due to the deep feeling that has been put into eachline. Moreover,  the author goes on and continues to express what they're feeling as the days go on without their special person. Such as, "grey sky, rain drops, tears fall..."
Throughout this poem the narrator never seems to fully to cope with their situation.  Everything is still a blur, it hasn't fully hit them yet. Like they just don't know what to do with themselves.
I'm inclined to believe that these things do happen in real life - people go off to war and they don't always come back. But they don't have to be in the military to die or to be taken away from us. People close to us die, that's just what happens. I'm sure that many people can relate to this poem very easily, like I did.
