Living With the Silence
I'll never get used to this. An entry for the 'Moment of Silence' Challenge
By Jonathan ApolloPublished 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read
Sadness overwhelms me to the point of lost mobility
Independent by default, alone in our home – my home now
Lonely with my thoughts, scared of them becoming reality
Expecting the worst, knowing you can’t save me anymore
No laughter in the halls, no slippers sweeping back and forth, no energy
Crying until my sockets hurt won’t change anything, but I can’t stop
Everything hurts without you here and it always will
