Grief

 I started writing this on a day when I couldn’t get him off my head. This is the only way I know to pour out my emotions when I feel almost suffocated by them. The flashes of memories were too real and I didn’t know how to make the movie of his life before me stop playing every time I would close my eyes to blink. Months had passed since it happened, yet the feelings on this day were strong like it all had been very recent. 


At times it feels like it happened yesterday,

and I’m transported to that night when it all turned gray,

when some part of me was taken away,

millions and trillions of thoughts going through my head,

yet still nothing to say.


Sometimes it seems like I’m doing it all wrong,

like even though being ripped apart, I should still act strong,

like I should just accept our story is done,

that you’re long gone.

Never to be mine again, never to return.


It’s so weird to me how life works.

How I’m supposed to deal with this never ending pain that comes with a loss?

Am I expected to ignore every single time my mind with you comes across?


Other times it feels just as intense,

and I try to use logic for it to make sense.

Because today was supposed to be special,

I require your presence, for such days it’s vital,

in my head the only way to go through, is denial.


You live in my verses, my memories, my dreams,

you run through me like water, an ever-ending stream.

The tossed coin at the bottom has lost its shine, it seems.

Moments we shared, times well spent,

my wish has decayed,

but I am afraid to believe there is indeed an end.


I’ll pray to whoever,

if it bring us back together,

so I don’t have to face that you'll be missing forever.

Otto - my cute little fur ball


My world in your eyes is all I ever saw

Infinite sweetness and innocence

With you by my side nothing ever had to make sense

I felt complete and I gave my all to you like there was no end


Now there’s something in me just dying inside

Life was good before and now it’s me trying to bring back the good in goodbye

Reality hits the hardest when it’s you in my mind in these dark cold nights

When I realize

You’re no longer here to hug so tight


Flashes of memories pop up so randomly

So I don’t forget you stopped existing 

The emptiness within me is reminding me constantly

I shouldn’t forget it’s you I’m missing 


My cute little fur ball

I don’t want to let go of

Forecast of rainfall

Clouds that cannot easily be brushed off


I wish there was a way I could cope with this better

I wish there was a way you could read this letter

Only so you’d know how much to me you mattered

Only so you’d know how part of me your absence shattered


If I could see you once again in this life

I'd enjoy every second, take a deep dive

Cause I don’t ever want to forget what it was like to hold you


If I could have you just one more time

to refresh my memory on what it felt like

Cause I don’t ever want to forget what it was like to love you
