Death has no apology

Death leaves such a void
Full of life one minute and the next, gone. 
It isn't sorry and it isn't around long enough to ask why? 

Life is such a small space of time in such a currently sad existence. 

But death is unapologetic 
Death is sincere in its dagger 

What is left behind for those grieving 
Any empty space
Like a room that has no windows and when you find the door, it disappears
Like a hallucination
Overwhelmingly loud 
Overwhelmingly painful 
It takes the light 
And leaves you in the darkness.


What do we do then?
Surrounded by all of their life 
Their possessions, smells and memories 
Flooding back and too
Drowning and bereft 

Angry and no way of exhausting the emotion 
Full and tense
Tense and broken 
Like a shattered glass on a perfectly laid dinner table 

We transition 
We evolve
We rise again
In pain, and bruised but we carry on 
We learn to live again 
Without you.
