Drowning

I needed to sit with the pain just now
My heart shattered
& ache seeped,
No…flooded out
Through every nerve & muscle
As my body cried

You were there?

The hurt swallows words
Pictures & signs & hopes

But for today,
It’s time to shake it off
Bury it deep
Deeper

How many breaks can a heart take
Before it stops flowing red?
It seems even this pool of tears
Won’t drown…
Always
Love
Cheers?
Still miss you
Though now I must again collect the shards
As duty calls

I wish I could just do as you wish…
Whatever that is…

I’ll need my hands for crawling today
Writing will have to wait
Again, I’m sorry
For all the
Wrong
