The dust settles

Uneven levels

On top, Yellow and red petals

The crowd has gone away

Guess who has come out to play?

Little red devils


Its night

Silence

Reality invites itself in

Bonfire on the background

I feel the heat with no warmth.

Its true

3 things get better with age

Wine, authors and wood


The storm after the calm

Johnnie Walker

Is this alcohol or water?

No taste

Looking for an escape

I lost her



The thing about grief

is how the world

doesn't pause to wait.

Shit just keeps happening,

life keeps happening,

you want to recognize

how important

this person was to you

and pause..

but it's impossible.

You have to still show up.


They lied.

They lied when they said

"it gets better with time".

It doesnt.

It doesnt shrink

or decrease

or numb.

YOU have to be better

and bigger

so that you cant feel it as much.
