Invisible
Does anyone see me?
Do they notice the void?
Do they know that I’m broken?
Do they try to avoid?
Do they know that I’m hurting?
That I cannot let go
Without talking it through
Without letting them know
A silent sorrow
Buried so deep
So hard to express
The pain is for keeps
I’m afraid that I’ll never
Move on from this state
Wounded forever
A new me will take shape
I mourn the loss of a dream
A future so clear
The bond that I had
Now wrapped up in fear
I mourn the loss of a person
The beginnings of life
A precious little gem
For a husband and wife
I mourn the loss of relations
As it breaks us in two
Living so separately
But that’s all we can do
The initial support
The hugs and the sorrow
So fleeting, so subtle
Was gone tomorrow
Replaced with a loneliness
No friendly ear
Fading away
The darkness appeared
An exhausting journey
From beginning to end
A grief so deeply hidden
I further descend
To the depths of depression
So alone and in pain
Emotional numbness
Disconnected, I feel insane
