dear god,
i swear i wanna change
but these memories are getting to me
thinking about all the times we walked home
together side by side, step by side.
every time i drive past my old homes,
i think of you and all that encompasses who you were
i get depressed every time i think about
how unfair life can be to the human race
grief plagues my life. i lost another loved one
you were a loved one. i can’t believe i have to say it
in the past tense, because the past tends to be painful for me.
i never thought i’d turn back to poetry to heal
but the doctor says i need a better coping mechanism
instead of self-harming. but what else takes the pain away
better than inflicting pain back onto oneself?
