VI
Throughout our lives we are offered choices
demanding decisions or else options
with consequences we have to live with.
There are times it feels as though you’re about
to come back but then the day proves me wrong.
So tomorrow feels like a bully’s threat
as if it needs to prove me wrong again
and show me things will never be the same.
How many more days must I still go through
this bleakness with you no longer with me?
There is no answer.

Painful poems. Navigating a loss. Balance between pain (loss) and transformation into a poem.
