I'm Overwhelmed
It was immediate.
A hole-in-my-chest,
“I can’t breathe,”
Body-deep agony
That rose without warning.
It wasn’t symbolic.
It was a physical,
Drop to my knees
Kind of torment.
I can imagine,
This is what being buried alive feels like.
Suffocating under the crushing weight
That is grief.
I wish I hated him.
It would be so much easier
To hate him.
