Writings
I didn't even have the
Chance to say goodbye
And to tell you the
Things I've longed to say
Now you're gone for good
You've left me, broke your
Promise and my heart
I stop and cry when something
Reminds me of you
I don't have any strength to
Move on when you were what
Made me strong
People tell me that they are sorry
For my loss but they'll never
Truly understand my pain
I drown myself ...
What if you never got in the car that day?
What if I took back the things I wish I didn’t say?
What if you were still here in May?
You would still be alive.
I wouldn’t feel so bad and sorry.
You would have been another year older.
Loss is a **_funny_** thing.
It makes you rethink _everything_.
But so many “what ifs” can’t change a thing.
Loss is a **_scary_** thing.
You cry about everything,
B...
I spit blood out of my mouth,
Wiping away the salty taste on my teeth with my tongue.
Watching as light creeps, solemn, into the sky.
I cradle the sun in my hands.
There is scurrying,
Of mice,
Across the floor,
Pitiful and shaming squeaks,
I turn away as my body falls,
Apart.
Inside,
My organs are burning,
Twisting,
Angry,
My memories
Sliding down my brain.
Like an avalanche.
Liquid
Throths at my ...
An empty chair by the window waits,
Its wood worn smooth by years of use,
Once occupied by a soul now gone,
The silence echoing a haunting muse.
The garden blooms with roses bright,
Yet the fragrance feels a shade too light,
For hands that tended with gentle care,
Are absent from the morning air.
Photographs in dusty frames,
Tell stories that have lost their flames,
Faces smiling from another ti...
morning wouldn’t exist
in a world without night.
morning is a manifestation
of darkness
and silence
when we mourned you
at your funeral,
we all wore black.
were you there?
grief is horrifying
and i’ve seen it everywhere.
my father used to cry himself to sleep
the strongest man i know
broken down by another’s heart not beating
i work with widows
they weep to each other about their spouses
and t...
Empty hands.
Cold sheets.
Broken heart.
What's the point in anything?
I no longer feel your skin under my fingertips.
My lips crave the softness of yours.
The house has never felt this empty;
not even when I first moved in.
I miss the sound of your voice filling the air;
the weight of your presence in my bed.
My body molds around your absence as I sleep, like a memory-foam shoe that's be...
I remember the week we lost you
I would often fall asleep to a tear soaked pillow and wake up in a dreamworld where you were still here
Breathing
Alive
But the worst part about dreaming of you was the fact that I had to wake up
Only to realize
All over again
That you were gone
I woke up every time awfully confused
Not knowing which of my memories were reality or imaginary
But I would so...
Fistful of popcorn
Fancy chocolates
Funny stories
Help with math
Piano keys
Wobbly walk
All things that
remind me of you
You left this world today
I do not know what to do
I feel…numb
My thoughts are not clear
I’m not entirely sure
if there are any at all
I’ll never talk to you again
And that’s weird to think about
I didn’t see you very often
But it was a comfort
to know you’re there
Because y...
I know you wish
To fill the void
Don’t be selfish
Do not avoid
I know you care
But don’t you dare
That’s not the way you heal a soul
We’re all a whole
Bunch of a hole
And it won’t ever disappear
So have no fear
Embrace the emptiness
Don’t fill it up
With liquid happiness
Don’t run away
Let it be true
It came to stay
That hole on you
Just find a way
To start again
To teach...
