Welcome Agony

Warning: Depression, death, self-hate, loss.

I have some pretty angry things written from when… well, from when. I held onto my grief for a long time… still do, kind of. This is… sort of how that felt, as best I can put it.

It gets better, they say

Well, fuck that, them

This pain is mine, and

I will never let it go

So let it consume me

Memories raw, immediate

The sense of you

Never fading

Like the light in your eyes

The light in your eyes

The light faded

Faded as I held you

Held you as you died

No

This despair I feel

Is my penance

It is killing me

But I welcome this agony

Because

Because I know

I am afraid that if I let it go

Your memory will fade

And I will lose you

I will lose you all over again.
