Miss

I swallowed a candle

It burned through my body

Destroyed a soul, in waiting;

For life.

Grief stricken

My words burn my throat

I mourn the soul

I mourn words untold.

I mourn the parts of me

That died

The day I realized

I couldn’t bring this soul earth side.

Full of unprocessed emotions and fear

I push forward.

I’ll continue to mourn the loss

In the morning light

Even in the night.

Not a day goes by that I don’t wonder

Or think of him or her.

In their memory

I will shine bright

I will fully embody me.
