Promises
A close friend of mine passed away a few days ago.
The first of December to be exact.
So it begins:
A torrent of despair ravaged my mind, tearing my thoughts asunder.
I turn to my last bastion.
A place nonexistent.
I look,
I look,
Was there aught?
Surrounded by the broken pieces of content, I wandered-
I wandered
I wandered
I wandered
A ray of light shone through the dark, decrepit walls of the crestfallen.
Enveloped by the shadowy recesses of sorrow-
Flames..?
I lay there engulfed in the flames of purification.
A warm flame, a warm heart, offered by a kindred soul.
She said, "If you want, I'm here."
Words I embraced.
Words I needed to hear.
The promise was kept.
That was all I needed.
---------------------------------
We go through life.
Tragedies happen.
Although the disasters can't be averted-
Each of us needs someone to confide in.
At the very least, one person.
We can't always have on a suit of armor.
We aren't invincible.
We're human.
Vulnerabilities are something we share.
We're sentient beings.
What do you think?

I'm sorry to hear about your friend. Condolences. I can see your writing helps you bent in a way. Keep that going, its something you'll always have.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear about the passing of your friend. I recently I lost two family members since Aug. so I can relate.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you are saying, vulnerabilities are something that we all share and the loss of someone brings all of those feeling to the surface.
I'm really sorry to hear about your loss. I recently lost a baby and it tore me apart, I can't imagine what it would've been like if I met him. The only thing I can suggest is to not keep feelings inside, if you don't want to confide in someone simply write.
ReplyDeleteLaw--Interesting and thoughtful new entries. Again, sorry for your loss.
