DEATH

The death of a loved one is so visual

You see the blueprints of what life holds

You try to hold on to nothing

Be a bird surfing the sky but when the bird hits the wind

Your wings lose flight

You fall with nothing to hold to only dreams built half way

Try to take control but this balance was never for you

You crash back to the dreams you built

Leaving nothing but a pillar

Half way across the ground you'd pray it crashed with your dreams too but this passage it leaves

For you get to walk with your flightless wings again

With your chest beating to its core

You see everything in 3D

Your hands crossed on your chest

It was exactly what you read

What you saw in dreams

What you watched

But never what you imagined

For the pain turns into a monthly flow with no pads to hold the trauma

But this is reality

Your earth was never meant to hold water so let it go

Let it all out

It draws out a drainage to reach its destination

At least something in you has a place to go

At least you have sheltered something beyond your reach

Something covered with darkest sadness
