Aftermath

Aftermath

I am crushed, crashing
Dismembered, disintegrating
Choked out by the death that surrounds me
Death surrounds us, drowns us

I fight
To feel
The risks of vulnerability
are too real

The rawness
Challenges me
Greatly
Ignorance is bliss

The loss, the lack
The gravity tears me down
Breaks me apart
Swallows me whole

I am slipping away
Sliding into the void
Hearing the stories of
Pain be told

I go about my day
In it's hollowness
I hear the echos,
Cries for help

I need a soul cleansing
I need to heal, make whole, make sense
Mostly, I need to feel, be real
The ache, the angst, the helplessness

So it sit still, I slow
The truth washes over me
Cold and bitter
I accept it

Then, I love harder
I love deeper
I love stronger

I love you.
