If I could explain to you the pain that has filled me since, your eyes would begin to tear. If you could hear the thoughts inside my head, you would begin to break down. If you could feel the deep pain inside my soul, then maybe you could understand. Losing people is age old. There's nothing new to losing the ones you love. But the pain that is felt is completely and utterly new to those that are feeling it. You can lose a million people and no pain would ever occur twice. Each person has a different meaning or value in your life therefore causing a different sting of pain each time. To go through life, with an empty hole, never to be filled, is one of the most exhausting trials that consequently never ends. But losing memory of someone screams pain even louder. Losing what means so much, all that you have left, is the most self sacrificing pain you can experience. You've already lost the physical person, now to lose the memories. Like some kind of sick game. All you have left is a recording of a voice that will make you shatter at the first word and pictures where you can't quite remember exactly where you were when it was taken. Uncertainty can be the death of the ones that survived.

Uncertainty
50  years old An age you'd forever dread If only you were here To actually experience it Because at least you'd be experiencing something Instead of being gone Cremated into nothing A bracelet worn on my wrist Yet still a memory I'm willing to relive The pain was so great But at least it'd be something At least you were still here Dying but here And that's all the comfort I need In a hospital bed but here In a daze but still here Gasping for air but still here What I would give To have you still here

Here
The long winding hallway Led me to my fate The unexpected hell filled days Watching death takes it's toll Pills and sleep Gasping for air just to breathe The tinted windows The ash filled urn My mother gone All pages turned Four years passed A void never to be filled Spoken freely Yet, unable to rebuild

Ash filled urn
If anyone ever made you feel like you're important Know that you're not That can change in an instant One conversation, one person, one decision All amounts to nothing All was well That perfect moment in time Just to collapse right in front of you You think that the pleasure was all mine Just to have you in my life But at night, you're still by yourself Alone in your head Alone in a room full of people You never could have been more misled To think that you were important To think that you were actually worth something But instead, you continue to put yourself through more torment If anyone ever made you feel like you're important Know that you're not The change in life is always constant No one can promise you what's nonexistent It's an overplayed romanticized concept So remember, if anyone ever makes you feel like you're important Just know that you're not The life we live isn't guaranteed We live alone, we die alone And alone in life, we will proceed.

Just know that you're not
