"How are you? " concerned voices overlap my sense of thinking. Eyebrows creased in pity, eyes full of sorrow staring right into my lifeless ones. "Have you cried? " they utter. I stare blankly at them. Not having the right answer or response.
See truth of the matter is voices chase me telling me I need closure. Mind drilling inside me telling me I need composure. Because truth of the matter is I don't want to believe it.
Life is precious but the sudden hit of death makes you realise that more. It makes you want to cherish it. But the sad reality is that, the mindset of what death teaches us isn't going to stick with us. Weird right? We start to believe life is short and precious but give us a couple of days and ****. Mindset gone.
They told me that I needed closure. From the second they saw my lifeless eyes and limp body. They told me I needed to let it go. To accept and understand that this is the circle of life. They told me I need to shed tears more and be more emotional. Told me that I should face my fears.
They kept telling me how to react, What to do and I just couldn't. I just can't.
Sitting outside looking at the night sky Watching the stars shine bright I exhale. I sigh in extreme exhaustion and pain. I sigh in such a way that my heart and soul are screaming to the world. Head faced high my mind scatters, My heart jolts and runs leading to an almost cardiac. With the sudden need to whisper to the winds and ask them where he is and if he's safe. Feet trembling with the requirement of making sure he's somewhat happy where he is. Soul shatters with the idea that I can never see him again. A stinging longing pain arises in my chest. Making me stare blankly.
Composure Composure! My mind screams. Dare not to dream, nightmares follow you then. I clear my painful lump filled throat.
Composure composure, I sing song to myself. I'm not ready for closure because the reality of losing you finally hits in. I don't want that.
