There are so many things. Moments. Embraces. Jokes. Kisses. Comforting words. Lovely scents from intricate bottles. The feeling of your fingers gliding up and down. Then the electric hum that cascades afterward. A list that can extend to the heavens. Is now a momento to a time that i wished would also be unending. Im not bleeding. Im not breathing.. Im not achieving... I tried to move mountains. And failed. I tried to be more than i was. And stumbled. I tried to do what others could not. And lost.. I want so badly to encompass and embody all that was needed. Yet it sadly consumed me and spat me out of pity. Why are there days coming that should have your presence... And now don't. What purpose can there be in being in love.. When it can grow else where at anytime. Anger crippled our relationship.. But neglect was the rocket fuel. I fear that heart brake may be the end. For motivation to BE is slipping. You will always be beautiful. Always be generous and kind. You will be the woman i will need to compare to others. And will never come close. You are going to be last thing on my mind for the rest of my life.. And that..is something that i will sadly cherish. Perhaps i will be worth it just like you are. Maybe one day..this sorrow will end.

For you
It’s funny, I’ve tread the boards before . Yet somehow, The stages feel very different. The funny thing about grief Is the brittle nature Of the acts you battle through, Back and forth, Round and round. Denial is my personal favourite Because for that time, Nothing is real. Within the eye of the storm You feel almost safe somehow, And yet, Before long Anger bubbles. Effervescent rage takes over, And screaming, shouting, swearing at the world Is the only course of recompense. For everything is wrong, Everything is pain, And it sears white hot Through all doubt. But It only lasts for so long, So you beg, You bargain for some peace; Some change of circumstance, Some hope. Anything you have to offer, Everything in fact. For you are tired, So very tired, And the unfairness of it all Weighs heavy on your heart. So heavy depression creeps in And as you lie awake at night, The black dog crushing your chest, You question everything. How you could ever hope To pull through this cloud? You question, If you could ever see the sun again? They are painful Whirling round and round Flipping back and forth Replaying the scenes Painful and necessary For the grief appears For many reasons And a knife in the back; The heartache that follows, Is kin to this storm. I know there is one more act to play But I haven’t learnt my lines I’m not ready for opening night I have no acceptance yet.
