I, grief
I, grief, is losing someone and feeling like a part of you will always be empty
the spot reserved for our memories together
now vacant, emptiness and hollowness that aches
grief is the feeling two seconds after waking up in the morning when you remember
and you realize you have to keep living in this world
with this aching emptiness
without this person who was a part of you
who birthed your being
who created you into you
and knowing you'll never hear their laugh
see their smile
feel their touch
or their comfort ever again
and having to relive this agonizing nightmare
every morning after waking up
every morning for the rest of your life
I, grief.
