(There will be swearing)

Friday 13/Dec/19:

Because now you are gone
I will jump from the bridge
And drown
Drown in the agony
Of what you have left
And what you haven't

~~~

I fucking hate the world without you in it.

~~~

Thinking about the future and knowing you won't be there, well it's fucking terrifying.

~~~

Everyone told me you couldn't prepare yourself for someone's death.
They were wrong, I died with her a long time ago.
She takes the last wheezing breath.
And now I'm also dead and hollow.

~~~

I've been exhausted and breaking apart for the past five years, it's just finally showing outwardly because
God's promises were what held me together
But finally I see those promises for what they truly are:
Lies. Utter lies.
Now I'm in pieces on the floor.
And I just want to die

~~~

How do you tell a 7 year old brother
About their mother's love
When she is gone?

It's a cosmic slap
To die on your birthday

~~~

He walks in and checks on her
Then leaves
He comes back to see just in case
She is awake
But life isn't born out of mercy
