Anatomy of Grief

Anatomy of Grief Sara Russell December 4th 2018 02:25 From the things we always wanted to the things we always had all those things we took for granted only now seem not so bad and the words we should have spoken that were somehow never said now are lying crushed and broken ever silent in my head You are silent now, and elsewhere you are distant as the sky while I am here and nowhere watching memories drift by and when time runs out of minutes and the ship sinks at the helm I would shed my earthly limits just to see your other realm There's a realm beyond dimensions beyond gravity and air that no map ever mentions yet I know that you are there You are drifting over hillsides over palaces of cloud while I subsist on the inside never quite saying aloud all the million billion chances time allowed to slip away meaningful, resentful glances all the words we can't unsay all the lost bones of contention now go spinning into space emptiness too dark to mention that once, used to be your face.
