She mourned the loss of life she never had. A loss that she never realised she had lost.
It wasn't heavy or loud, but it was gentle and quiet.
It simmered for days within her.
But the quiet it brought was loud.
She mourned while laughter echoed in her ears.
Her laughter never stuck around enough to dispel the subdued loss.
She heard the joy yet she mourned.
It seems she is to mourn for decades to come, for a life that is lost.

April is a month of loss.
