t.w: death


i sit in the cold room
the white walls enclosing on me
making me feel small
the smell of vomit
and blood waft around the
hospital

when they come out
my hands are clenched
into tight fists
begging for good news
but no

two words
the very two words
that could change my life
i'm hoping for the 'he's alive'

she opens her mouth
to deliver the lines
'he's gone'
then my world crashes

i am numb

the pain washes over me
the unspeakable sorrow
of losing him
i loved him

what will i do now?
all the memories we could've made
gone
broken into shards of glass

the beast is raging inside of me
clawing at my heart
to try and escape
tears run down my face

i try and hide the pain
i sit there, shaking
ignoring the stares
i need to see him

i am lead into a room
and he's there
pale face, cold skin
this can't be right

memories wash over me
he was fine yesterday
when his face was still bright with life
but no.
his heart has stopped beating

i fall to the ground
sobbing
till my chest hurts
and my eyes are swollen and red

how could he
leave me like that
i'm not moving
don't tell me to get out

i can't leave him
can't let go of
the love of my life...
the loss of my life
