What other option is there?
I put one foot in front
And then the other and just repeat
Even when all I want is to
Curl up in bed
With the covers over my head
and cry
and wish
and long
for what was, and what might have been
There is still such tremendous pain
But I continue to put one foot ahead
Instead of what I truly want to do..
To lay and sob and wither away in bed
About this poem
Love and heartbreak and longing and loss and pain and sadness and just everything..
