0923
I’ll never know why
Or understand how
To have faith again
When love dissipates
It’s like I try to breathe underwater
And I’m surprised when I choke
Nothing I ever accomplish will provide inner peace
As if my heart is on a leash-
Leapt out, onto the street
Away from it all
In a dreamless sleep
I can’t see the light
Your beauty misshapen
Why did you leave us here?
Without a goodbye,
Clarity
And the grief comes in spurs of panic attacks
My mind clouds with an emptiness
Loss of laughter,
Loss of understanding,
The glue to our family
The glue to my anxiety,
My light
Now gone.
