Grief
Stop.
Do not tell me that "it will all be okay!"
Because it won't.
It has been a year now;
The emptiness inside of my heart is still screaming.
It's quieter some days,
It's louder others.

I smiled at the void
and the void smiled back.
I dipped my finger into it
and got lost in the darkness,
like an ocean, ever reaching.
Water filled my lungs instead of air.

Oh for a halo of thorns to lay across my brow.
