It’s not an agonising grief I feel,
It’s more of unconditional surrender –
Accept the loss, bear the brunt
move on, perhaps.
Someday things will be better –
maybe not.
You smile, but your sweetness
is cloying my eyes;
You embrace me – but there’s
little I feel.
You are perfect, but I cannot
seek comfort in someone else’s
greatness,
unless I find some in
myself –
