It is in the mundane everyday when the jagged edged lightning bolt hits out of nowhere,

Debilitating me as I crumble knowing to fight it would be futile,

Avoiding the waves result in crashing me down as ferociously as a tsunami.

Grief is love with nowhere to go as they say, but how can love feel this cruel?

I am starved of your love that made me feel truly alive,

Memories of our happiness that I had never experienced before taunt me.

Now I am left to carry on whilst carrying you with me, but the weight is crushing me,

The sole keeper of our shared memories and secret moments,

Living without you feels like a long, slow painful existence where I no longer recognise myself.

My favourite parts of me died the day you took your last breath,

Everyone left in my life now left with the scraps of my half existence,

How I wish we were together once more; Every day one day closer.
