This poem is for you
If you have lost someone you loved.*

Suddenly the person you thought you could rely on most
Is ripped away from you
And you fight
You do everything in your power to keep them
But it's dangerous
It's toxic
And now
They're gone.
And you're left in a tragic fragility.

Time heals everything
What you can't stop thinking about now
And what consumes your thoughts
So much
And what causes you terrible heartache
Will fade.

And you will feel it fade
Because slowly, you realise life goes on
And your heart will heal
And you will stitch yourself together

Don't feel ashamed
It's all part of the process
You can do it
Feel it
Cry
Let the tears stream down your face
But then move on.

What kills you now
Is what you will kiss goodbye later.
