Mourn
Reality Bites
I know you’re gone
I’m not Deluded
Or in Denial
Dread is a constant companion
Because I know you’re gone
And each day is more of the same
And no you
Yet , my senses come alive
When I see the things you loved
When I hear the music you loved
I get excited and can’t wait to tell you about them
Then my heart skips a beat
Because I know you’re gone
Despair and Depression grab my hands
And I’m caught in a tug-of-war
Where losing is the only option
Because I know you’re gone.

Drowning in Silence
~~~
~~~
We could laugh and talk for hours/days … then not talk hours/days.
That was part of “us.”
We didn’t have to be in the same room to be comforted by each other’s presence.
We didn’t have to voice every thought and emotion.
We appreciated the silence.
But invariably, one of us would cough or sneeze, leading the other one to make a loud, snarky remark … and we’d be off and running into recreating endless movie scenes and TV one-liners.
Until we exhausted ourselves and invited silence in.
We appreciated the silence.
But I don’t anymore.
The silence is too loud.
Sometimes I feel like I’m drowning in silence and the only lifeline that can save me is gone.
Forever.
