The Depth of Death

Emotions swirl the soul, then settle to livid. They course through earthly veins. Nostalgic thoughts reform to pain, so vivid. Choke for air through a swollen, throated lump. Heart melts despair as it slides to a defeated, broken slump; lonely, and left behind to feel life’s pains. The living, continue to seek a perspective that feels brave. Beseeching the mystery come to an end. Realization that being emotionally affected comes in waves. Seek a release that might lead to relief. Desperately grasping for some kind of belief. Aggressively forcing mindset to bend.
