Still

[Janice]

Each time I think of you I stop and my tracks. My heart is so sad...still.
I scream your name in the dark and the sound glows like flames.
I touch the ground and speak out loud...still
I weep.
My tears burn hot like the sun as they stream down my face.
Why did I love one more time?
Is there a damn point here?
I must be dumb.
I
JUST
DON’T
GET
IT.
I am mad.
No,
take that back
-PISSED!
I beg for sleep, but my mind won’t calm down.
My thoughts race to us
You.
Me.
That day, that night, those sounds, the rush of strength from my soul.
Blood.
        Tubes.
                  Sign this.
                                May we try this?
I am so spent but there is no time to sleep,
if I could.
Why won’t time grant me one more day, one more touch,
just one (one)
                   MORE
                            Sweet Kiss.
Tick, TOCK.
I am blind.
As I walk everything blurs - then fades to black.
So cold.
I am numb but it hurts so damn bad
I will myself to breathe
why do I fear griefs end?
now I just sit.
no sound,
no peace,
no light.
while you lie in the earth without me.
Still...

Reality is obvious. This is a very intense read.

For me, I’ve always been familiar with souls’ torment.
