I get why you don't want to celebrate this year Scared of turning 54 without the person you hold so dear This pain may be fierce Threatening to swallow whole Closed eyes will not stop sadness from taking control Life never will be perfect Future The present Past Open sight to beauty around Though it never lasts Time will not ever heal your heart Will bleed a bit until you die You will get stronger every day Trust eventually your tears will dry I fight large emotions underneath skin Losing battles for the moment with the hope that one day I might win Loss is heavier than any anchor ever weighing us down So much sorrow written on face I see it without hearing one sound I wish I could steal your greif and seal the abysmal hole How can I when I can't even repair my own soul?
