There is grief in my anger and anger in my grief
I remember words you promised
And things you never did
I remember the weight of carrying you,
while dragging myself
I choked on silent hopes and drowned in hopeless dreams
I disappeared before my own eyes
I survived your anger
Your painful tears
Your daggered remarks
I am the maker and victim of my own earthquake
I have yet to heal from this hurt
I miss so much, yet I miss so little
I want to yell and cry and laugh
I’m so mad at you
I’m so sorry
I’m so sad
I’m so glad
This feeling of loss is madness
I will never be able to live a day without remembering you
The sun will forever cast a shadow in your shape
How I loved you
But that love was not enough to make up for what we lacked
In the rubble of this tragedy, I found myself
I found peace and joy and love
Without you
And that’s the most tragic part of all
Very powerful… exactly like an earthquake.

Thank you. It’s been almost 2 years and while the pain is no longer debilitating, it lingers. I’ve moved on and I’m happier now than I’ve been in a very long time, yet I still feel a sense of loss.
