WHAT DO WE DO PIECES FROM OLIVIA
What are the reasons for my stay?”
Immerse grief, there is no escape from the earth over it.
They say; “grief is the chisel and your soul is the sculpture, what was once important
shatters into a thousand pieces.”
Surely, we will all experience grief in this lifetime, we will
all be obliterated by loss. They say grief is the price we pay for loving and
allowing ourselves to care deeply for the things in this world that are finite
and momentary. Grief splits you into two at the end of the day.
I read somewhere that said; “There is a part of you that is
truly taken to the limits of sadness when you have all of this love, all of
these plans, these memories of someone who was so precious, so deeply valued,
so important-and they’re gone.”
I have looked for your name in books. I buy things that
resemble everything you ever cherished. I glance at people that have a shape of
you. I look for any sign that tells me you are not gone and maybe somehow, we
will meet as I cross the road.
This feeling within me, is all I have left of the compassion I have for you. It
could have been a great gift to have had you forever.
They say I should give my heart a rest; that I carry too much
grief. They give me pills-an antidote to my sorrow to keep me away from
grieving over your departure but the truth is; I have every memory of you at heart.
I remember those songs you loved to hum to throughout the day, how you liked
your morning coffee hot and without milk, the cologne you loved so much to wear
and how you so much kept your faith in the Almighty. Death cheated you.
Take me back to the time I used to believe in the concept of
forever.
When you said you’d be there for me, always, I never thought it would be in the
shape of memories, our forever was but a mere blink of an eye.
Maybe this ache in my heart is the feeling that I am growing
stronger from your loss but, What Do I Do to stop this pain from growing
day by day?
