People never know what to say,
When they realise my mum is gone,
There's always a pause,
A moment,
Where they wish they didn't know.
I always wish they didn't either.
Because after the silence,
There's always the flood,
One that drowns me in words and tears and condolences.
But it doesn't extinguish anything.
Not the pain,
Not the anger,
Not the confusion,
And, most frustratingly, not the fire that took her.
