❤️ this is really relatable and admittedly beautiful although I know it’s coming from so much pain. I’ve been dealing with similar feelings and it’s nice to see someone express them and share them so honestly

This is raw, haunting, and painfully honest—grief laid bare in all its contradictions. The way you move between anger, guilt, forgetting, and longing captures the unpredictable tides of mourning so truthfully. That lingering question—was it my fault?—is one so many carry but rarely say aloud, and your courage in writing it makes others feel less alone. Your words honor not only your love for them but also the complexity of loss, where memory, silence, and sorrow all coexist. Thank you for sharing something so vulnerable—it holds the weight of a heart still trying to find its rhythm.

Stunning. Takes a lot of poetry to work through the grief, and this is such a raw piece. Thank you for sharing it with us.
