i remain

Filed under: on my mind

the pin hole sized wound that only allowed the pain to drip in slowly has now become a steady stream.

her life missed

her smile gone,

living only in our memory

an alternate universe that we now have to live in

that does not include her

where we are still expected to smile and shine on

to listen to other’s life aggrevations and nod and try to listen

but not be able to really hear

i remain confused.

i remain hurt.

but alas, i remain.

I want to be able to express myself like this.
You often write exactly how I feel, but I don’t know that I feel that way until I read the way you’ve written it! It’s usually bang on.
I like how you used the words “shine on”.
In the midst of tears that made me smile!
Remember my famous “little white cat” story?

the little white cat story sounds really familiar but can’t remember it exactly…you’ll have to tell me tonight at pizza night.
