In the smallness of my grief,
I hold all that we used to be.
Broken vows and playlists
I do not listen to anymore.
In the smallness of my grief,
I hold who I used to be with you
And what I am now without.
A shadow lurking in your corner,
Hoping the light of your smile
Will bring to the surface my humanness.
I hold in the smallness of my grief
All that I remember of you.
The thickness that I could never comb
That was your curls.
The weightlessness of your lips,
The caress of your eyes,
The warmth of your hands on me.
The love of your words and the
Comfort of your promises.
In the smallness of my grief
I hold my dreams.
I compare it with what is before my eyes
And I wish to be no more alive.
I wish to journey into my dreams
Where you are
And live out my happily ever after.
In the smallness of my grief
I hold my broken heart.
Pieces that break my skin with
Their sharp edges of betrayal.
In the smallness of my grief
I hold what is left of us
To cherish and to hold,
For better and for worse,
For richer and for poorer,
Till death do us part.
