An Unwanted Journey
The alchemy of grief in building a stronger relationship.
I don’t depart from anger. I leave not out of hate. I journeyed from your daily life for change could never wait.
An unknown future guide we follow. There has never been a set course. My comfort was delivered from innocent pride. It paved a road where depression would collide.
I remember your broken tears of shock. Then you pulled away. A day I wished never to come. The day I walked away.
Your mother and I departed. I moved out of the home. I carry a memory with me. In the past, I traveled alone.
The grief our family suffers. A new chapter we now start. I dive into a lonely palace. Answering questions I had never thought.
We meet on certain days. I see you now with time. Our bond of love grows deeper. I hear your words mix with mine.
I have died so many different ways. Separate was my sign. I notice you walk beside me now. Finally finding our spoken lines.
