Reflections on becoming

Let me now bury the dead

in

There is a scream so loud it shatters my insides but it never had the chance to escape the vacuum of my heart. It may come about as whimpers but if you’d only see the wreck a silent mourning has caused, how the pieces spread out into the void, you would understand the magnitude of the pain I am feeling inside.

The pain sucks my life from within, siphoning the joy into the emptiness and loneliness that has been growing like cancer inside me.

No pretense can cover the stench of a one-sided, affectionless marriage.

And I had had enough of listening to this tune on repeat. Let me now bury the dead.

Monsters be damned.
