The void you left this world in is deafening. I look around at the ones who love you, and see emptiness behind their eyes. Their souls lost between the world you left behind, and the one you're now leaving your mark on.

The walls reverberate with emptiness. Sadness seeps through  the chairs that once held you. Your voice echos in rooms full of people, drowing out their voices. Their pieces scatter across the floor in imaginary shatters, bouncing off every surface your lifes essence touched.

The glue that was the driving force for your family. Together, but so far apart. Desperation for the past drips between each interaction.

Life as we knew it will ever be how we know it.


There is no right time for death. There is no second chances at one more I love you, one more I should have said. We're all destined with the same end. Whether young or old, unexpected or expected.

I miss you in peace now.

Flutters of your memory dance across my soul from time to time. Not as they used to,though. No, now they don't feel like tiny blades gliding across every surface of my being. I miss you in peace. I sometimes smell your perfume while I'm driving in my car, my windows down and music blaring. Tears no longer stain my cheeks, though. I miss you in peace. Is it peace or the realization that your loss was expected to happen? On days when my heart quivers with grief and mind presents stills of you, I recoil within. I miss you in peace now.

I floated beneath your ether.
Gently gliding through the galaxies that created your soul.
The earth below me seemed like a distant, unwanted memory.
In your waves, I lost myself.
My molecules mixing with stardust and asteroids. Taking and giving, exploding and exploding.
Piece by piece, the strains of my soul intertwined with yours.
The thrumming of your heartbeat, whispered its hellos, while begging me to stay.
Light and dark became one, and all at once, I became nothing.
