Silence and pain whispering to me
My heart hurts and weighs me down
Numbness and pain mixing together
My breath is shallow
It hurts to breath
No respite from it
No sleep
No wake
Lost in a place in between where all there is
Is pain
Music blasting my ears in the dark
Trying to forget the howls of despair as the news came
A death has come
Inevitable yet shocking and unexpected
The numbness hurts me
Fingers of grief encircle my heart
It is beyond understanding
Nothing is real
Nothing is here

My aunt died in a car accident the day after thanksgiving. It was my first experience with death and the pain that comes with it.
