Coping

I've not had it for a while,
But that's my coping style.
Random, spontaneous crashes.
Where tears adorn my lashes.
I may not cry at their death.
Or at the funeral when they've left.
But months later when it's sunk in,
That the chance to see them again has been fin.
The sudden realisation
That it wasn't my imagination,
And that they are always going to be gone.
Those words in my mouth feel so wrong.
But that's just my way of coping.
Numbing myself until an opening,
Worms it's way into my little soul.
Where it lays until cajoled.

I'm not sure if anyone else suffers with these realisation crashes. Bit it's my way of coping. And there it is, in black and white.

Just a some what "odd" girl, living in what feels like a glass box. Hello Opuss, the savour of my sanity. my little private world amongst a life of being watched and watching.

silent suffering

I tried to be strong. I tried to be secure. Not only for me,. But also for her. Trying so hard to be tough. But I'm just putting on an act. Nobody knows anything is wrong. It's courage that I lack.

Suicide.

Such a pretty face. Such a fucking waste. Why'd you have to die. Couldn't have given live just one more try.. And now you've left me here alone. You've cut me open exposed to the bone.

Chris

She shook her head empathetically at me, her lips pursed in small frown. Her genuine words still rung in my ears, singeing my heart with every repetition. β€œIt’s been two years...” Two years.

Wedding

He looked at her, With her veil white. He though it familiar, His chest went tight. Everything faded, He drew back breath. Her eyes were jaded, Laced with death. He opened his eyes, Laid in fear.

Interesting.... πŸ’šπŸ’šπŸ’š

I react the sane way,when my great grandfather died it took like 6 months for it to sink in that he was gone,same with my cats when they died.

Its cool I know someone else that reacts the same way now

I didn't realise that stage of grief had such a name. Interesting. 😌

I had that, when my g-dad died it didn't hit until something else happened and I realised he was never coming back 😘 love this piece
