Grief can feel good
1 min readAug 5, 2017
When you left
Split me open
Fractured heart
Cells frenzy
Eyes fill with salt
Question what is
Sound of you gone
Deafening my ears
No more lilt
No more sing-song
Melody of you
Telling me it’s okay
Now it’s just me
Here with my grief
Somehow you
Are giving me permission to feel
I FEEL
Searing lungs
Breath escapes
Chest is crushing
Head is throbbing
Eyelids are aching
But then?
Peace
Pieces on the floor
The darkness is real
I’ve been afraid to see
Somehow you leaving
Has set me free.
I needed that.
