Letting Go

I guess I knew
somewhere
deep down inside my soul
fear chilling
silent pain
and when they called and said
those quiet
sorrowed
(never to be taken back)
Words
I could not even cry.

Grief and grieving

Numb
cold

Detached reality

How do I let the belief
of your loss
(ohgodnoohgodno)
be inside of me
when all I knew of you
must forever share the same place

and
live nowhere else?
