death, life And inbetween.

A Constant Ache

How do I get accustomed to this constant ache?

This stinging chest?

A longing I will never get used too.

A loss of language to describe my suffrage.

How do I go on? Learn to re-live?

Without him. Without him.

Reality seems too harsh, his ground too cold, his grave marker too solid, and his absence too loud.

How do I get accustomed to this constant ache?

Someone tell me!

Actually don’t even try, its an unanswerable question, any attempt is only a greater insult.

We should never get accustomed, never get used to tragedy, sadly now every step out into the real world I cringe with anticipation. Just waiting for more, no longer expecting favor, no more welcoming of goodness.

I now suit up, I grab every piece of armor I own, just to make it to the mailbox.

What do I do to guard what is broken on the inside?
