Why Must You Go?

"Love is the most twisted curse of all."

Her death was sudden. The sudden absence of her was left a hole in my heart that could not be filled. I lost someone I loved someone who I never got to live my life with, someone I never even had the chance to. It's unfair, why does the world have to take everything I love and discard of it like trash?

I have been visiting her grave for many days now, days turned weeks, weeks turned to months, at this point I have lost track. Some days I visit twice, some I don't at all. Maybe it is better if I don't, let her soul rest. But I can't bring myself to do it, I might forget her, I was afraid. Afraid of losing someone I had already lost.

Who knew such a loving and comforting presence would turn into a cold and cynical one.

Note - You can stop reading after 'Grievance', as by itself it stands as a story. But I recommend reading the entire work!
