Fears of Tears

Uncategorized

To grieve is to gather what you can no longer see,
Through exposed tired irides and a heart full of debris.

In the forefront of my mind, a special place that you’d reserved,
I guess you’re lucky you left first so as to avoid all of this hurt.

Memories of our time together, not even remotely compared,
To the love that you gifted me in the home that we shared.

I would give everything that I have left within me, to see you run through that door,
To hold you in my arms again and catch a breath of that scent that I adored.

You took such a piece of me that night that you left, an empty void that remains within the constraints of my chest.

Now I just exist here without you, a lump in my throat that feels like a thousand tethers,
Left to reminisce how special our time was together.

Rest Peacefully

Death is a fee to which we all must pay,

Often an award to those who’ve lived a life in dismay.

But for the people that care for you, to the very utmost,

An unexpected mourning, for a fraction of the cost.

When you love someone so deeply, and you cannot fathom their absence,

You need to embrace the moments that you’ve shared, regardless of the time spent.

Because one day inevitably, they’ll be gone to your touch,

To your voice, to your phone calls, that never seemed long enough.

Whether we’ll meet again, maybe after this life,

Or walk parallel again, different dimensions aside.

You’ll be in my thoughts still, until my very last gasp,

Rather than slipping away, into our memory’s past.

Wherever you are, I hope that you are safe,

And at least enjoyed yourself when you were stuck in this place.

For now, we really miss you, as we celebrate a Mother, Sister, Daughter, and Wife,

And I look forward to meeting you again, in this next form of “Life”.
