To grieve what I still have
but need yet to let go of,
is one of the most torturous endeavors
I have ever created for myself.
You’d think after fearing the inevitable all your life it would hurt less when the inevitable finally happens.
But it doesn’t, it hurts just as much; if not more.
Maybe because it’s the one thing you hoped more than anything would never come true.

I remember the feeling of camaraderie like an intoxicating wine and now I find myself dreading small moments of casual interacting. Is it because Im no longer masking?
In fleeting moments of beauty
will you think of me?
If there was one image
to come to mind
when my name is murmured in kind
ringing ears
interjecting thoughts
what would it be?
