Sometimes you start reading a poem... and somewhere along the way, it stops being a poem.
You no longer remember how it rhymed, how the words were so beautifully knitted together.
The lines, the words ... they all dissolve... and what's left is just a flood of emotions, loosened and flowing.
Like a small boat without a paddle, you stop resisting and simply glide along the current.
That's how I felt reading yours.
"And grief doesn't leave, like I thought — it just patiently waits around for you to remember"
Those lines struck deep.

it takes time to grieve a great love loss .. when someone who is a big part of your life is suddenly gone it leaves a gaping void.. you can distract yourself by doing volunteer work or getting a pet or joining a support group or even a dating site which is probably rude and unseemly to suggest but finding someone also going through loss could be mutually beneficial and comforting as well.. one might just enjoy indulging in the pain of loss and longing over their dear departed loved one out of respect and devotion instead as one should ☺ in such a case carry on and again sorry for your loss.. i hope this comment is not too annoying.. once when i extremely wanted a baby some lady suggested i get a dog 🙄 which i thought was way off however my husband got us two yorkies and the 2nd one brings us great happiness with her cute adoring existence.. without her i was severely depressed but i have light in my life now ☺

@GoFish the only thing is I can't imagine rubbing in the pain of a loss that seems disrespectful to me not respectful but that's my own opinion
