I cried
I cried.
I cried harder than I ever did. I cried until my eyes stung.
I cried until I heaved. I cried until I had no more tears.
And than I cried some more.
It's an odd feeeling, crying so hard you feel the
Shattered pieces of your heart start to stab at your insides.
Crying for what seems like years- until you're shaking.
Staggered, shallow breaths dragged through your lungs.
The thick air and the words they spoke were hard to swallow.
I couldn't wrap my head around the concept, so I retreated mentally.
Knowing that there, in the mountains in my mind I could see you.
I could hear you and hold you. You could hold me while I cry.
The images of you flooded my brain and somewhere along the line,
I began to struggle to keep my head from going under.
I was drowning in your memory.
Because that's what you were. That's what you became.
You were gone,I only had memories.
No longer a physical, tangible, breathing person.
No longer someone I could see and talk to every day.
Unless I stayed in bed and ran through the mountains in my head.
The clock kept ticking when your heart stopped beating.
Days kept leaving when I stopped believing.
Images of you kept fading when life didn't stop moving.
So I cried.
I cried harder than I ever did. I cried until my eyes stung.
I cried until I heaved. I cried until I had no more tears.
And than I cried some more.
I stopped eating, started bleeding. I wanted to be gone.
I wanted to be with you. Indifferent to life without you,
Why hadn't you called me? Why wasn't I there?
These pills are easy to swallow, not like the
News of you and what you did.
Now my eyes fall shut, heavy and weak,
Never again will I speak.
