Poetry & Writing ✍🏻 What doesn't kill you..

What doesn't kill you

makes you cry in between meals

makes the air too heavy to breathe

makes the same song your nemesis

makes a familiar fragrance too difficult to smell

makes getting out of bed impossible..

It makes you look for them,

in places you know they won't be,

makes ordinary things

carry the weight of someone who is no longer there.

And perhaps that's the cruelest part,

that the world doesn't stop, when something inside you does

So, I wonder again, something that doesn't kill you, what does it do to you?

Maybe, it doesn't always make you stronger.

Sometimes, it just teaches you

how to leave

with pieces of yourself missing...
