A Month Ago
October 22
A month ago today,
But who’s counting
Only our family,
Our pain,
Our sorrow
And life keeps going.
Life remains unfair
It completely sucked out the beauty
And now the darkness is a new reality
Somedays are easier,
A smile lets loose
Then days I am suffocated with grief
Remembering who you were
Who you are
With only a month having passed
It’s made me realize that this pain
This anxious feeling in my soul
Will never fully disappear
It’s the new me
New reality
Slipping on foot after the other up the staircase of doom
And yet if we don’t find the light again,
That’s doom
So we must go on,
We must swallow our tears sometimes
Let them play out and ask
What would Mom do?
What would she say?
And although we don’t want to hear it
Although we don’t want to feel it,
She would say
“Let me go”
