I have such an Overwhelming heaviness in my chest
I can feel it literally sitting on me
My eyes are full of tears
That I do not want to let fall
I cry alone
When no one is watching me
I cried really hard
It has been a while since I cried
That much
That hard
That long
I needed to unswallow this hard stone
That has lodged itself down my throat
Now into my chest till my stomach hurts
I don’t want to be without you my baby
They say it gets better
All lies
When will this darkness end
I have no faith anymore
Faith in myself
Faith in my life
Faith in God
Where does that leave me
I am only left speaking to an empty womb
I want to move forward
Yet pain of loosing you is stuck inside my being
This womb that held you within me
Now cries that you left too soon
How do I heal it
When I have no strength to even be angry
Emptiness
Emptiness
Emptiness
I can hear it echo in my entire body, soul, heart
Where does that leave me
Power in these saddened words.

Thank you so much Elouise, sometimes you have words that you cannot explain to someone bt when you write it makes more sense. And then Prayers are what you need the most

Yes. Writing it makes it real and strangely comforting in a way that brings healing. Not just once and done, but many times over. 🙏🏻
