Nobody knows what
Depression does as...
Sliding slowly, pitiful toad,
Angling slightly, pitfall road...
I woke with your memory over me-
Blue eyes and a soft smile dissolved by the light...
I searched for your face in the crowd-
I knew it was pointless and yet I did it anyways...
Screaming from the inside
The anger gnawing within...
I wrote an elegy and it won because they mistook...
The flowers in my kitchen were never surface level...
I sobbed over you in the grocery store parking...
I was just trying to get milk but grief isn’t...
Did you fall off the face of the earth-
Did a meteor strike wipe you out and leave no...
The ice on the pavement was as cold as the silence...
It was the same silence I’ve lived with for over...
I was making pork chops for dinner.
It was late and I knew it’d take four hours...
Your name popped up on my screen-
I’d been waiting for the notification for days...
I should’ve gone with you but I had to work-
I didn’t need any more trauma...
