Grief

I used to think
That I could be
Purposely Ignorant
Of my family.
I hated them,
But You cannot hate
Without once
Having loved.
Even after all the times
I was hurt.
I could not stop
Loving them.
So I was
Hurt,
Again,
And again.
The cycle continued.
And one day,
I found that
It stopped hurting
Quite so often.
Things got easier.
And I
Moved on.
The weight became
...bearable.
And after all this,
I was all
That was left.
