Two weeks, or perhaps two months.
Inevitability stings.
I’m yet to cry, but I know it’s coming.
I am readying myself.
But if I cry; I accept,
And to accept
Means to make it so, and I know
It can’t be so.
I’ve begun grieving what I know is close, maybe
Two weeks, or perhaps two months.
Though, knowing what is to happen
Makes it no easier.
Moments collide day-by-day,
As they amalgamate.
Amalgamate into You.
The shell of what You now are,
A remnant of what once was,
What has been left behind for us to observe.
Two weeks, or perhaps two months.
The unknowing aches greater than any illness.
Each day should be celebrated,
Regardless of Your pain,
Our heart’s pain,
And the pain of knowing
The little we do know,
That it could be
Two weeks, or perhaps two months.
The more days’ pass,
The closer It is,
And the promise of
Two weeks, or perhaps two months
Fades into a void which knows no remorse.
Optimistically, we whisper;
‘Two weeks, or perhaps two months’,
Until hope subsides.
