A Loss
Sitting in the hallway as I cried is where I first learned to quiet myself
I was told that there was no worry
That I was being unreasonable
But you provided refuge no matter what state I was in
Throughout my life, I have looked for you in everything I have experienced
In the flowers,
a passing plane,
the feeling of your ring on my finger
holding on to each scrap of you that I could
Trying to find the slightest hint of comfort
March 28th, 2020 was one of the worst days of my life
As the world swirled with commotion I was stripped of my foundation
The one person who truly held me together
As the weeks passed my grief was interrupted by restrictions and guidelines
As I watched your funeral over Facetime I realized I did not know who I was without you behind me
In the passing years, the weight of grief has taken its toll on my life
Yet the memories I created with you push me to persevere
