RE: A Year Later, What Next? - Pandemic Poetry Challenge

in The Ink Well • 5 years ago

I made peace with the pain
Now, I'm embracing the grief
I loved the darkness
But the light loved me more
Like the virus, the ache may never go away
I'll be here always, facing it

This is my fav part of the poetry, for some reason it speaks volumes to me, I’ve written something like this in the past, quite similar sentiments, like you my mothers death took a toll on us, but we haven’t spoken about it since it happened....no one can or wants to

    I'm so sorry. I perfectly understand. I hope you and your siblings find a ground soon. It gets better when we talk about it.

    Thanks for coming.

        You will. I was with my mum too so I remember everything vividly, save for ones that were too painful that I blocked them unconsciously. It never really goes away.
