In case anyone forgot

It’s an empty space

An empty place

When the noise is gone

And I’m all alone

I hear your voice 

I see your smile

But the pain of losing you is overwhelming

Suffocates me at times

The deluge starts all over again

(I don’t think it ever stopped)

And I’m back to square none


Death too soon

A punishment, a release

My grief

My prison

My burden to bear

My valley, my own personal hell

Dreams

Last night I dreamt that I was on the phone with my mother. We were talking about random things and then I looked at how long we were talking. The screen said 42 mins. I started crying uncontrollably in my dream because it was at the same time I realized that my mom was gone. 

My sadness penetrates my dreams. Even when I see her or talk to her, I don't know why I keep reminding myself she is gone. 

It'll be 3 months in 2 days. It hurts just as much as it did on day 1.
