How do you mourn someone that did not die?...

How do you mourn someone that did not die?...

You hold on tight to your heart so as to not to let it fall apart into a thousand pieces. You think of a good memory with that someone and try to absorb the old feeling of happiness that now seems so light as breeze in an evening sky. For a moment that may last forever your breathing stops because the pain of every breath is as if your chest is filled with iron spikes of words and the emptiness. And, for a moment something may be born. Something as simple as a silver drop of water born out of pain and emptiness: out of you. The old image is now burned into the flesh of your mind and it will be there every single time you close your eyes or go to sleep. It will be your ghost, your past and your present. Because from now on you will have to face that the person you once knew is no longer with you.


To all of those who have felt the loss.
