I want the world to stop a moment.
Let me breathe,
Let me grieve.
I need a pause
to look about me.
To see the shadows of your life
Before they start to fade.
Put life on hold.
Let me cry,
Let me think.
You're gone.
I'm aware of it.
Starkly, painfully.
An ever-present knife wound.
But I still catch my breath,
Realizing again
What that means.
But the world won't stop.
I have to live
While I grieve.
I eat, sleep, talk.
But I don't want to.
Not yet.
