Losses

by Kay Ryan

Most losses add something — a new socket or silence, a gap in a personal archipelago of islands.

We have that difference to visit — itself a going-on of sorts.

But there are other losses so far beyond report that they leave holes in holes only

like the ends of the long and lonely lives of castaways thought dead but not.

"I'm bought and sold, aren't I?" said Vimes, shaking his head. "Bought and sold."

"Not at all," said Vetinari.

"Yes, I am. We all are. Even Rust. And all those poor buggers who went off to get slaughtered. We're not part of the big picture, right? We're just bought and sold."

Vetinari was suddenly in front of Vimes, his chair hitting the floor behind his desk.

"Really? Men marched away, Vimes. And men marched back. How glorious the battles would have been that they never had to fight!" He hesitated, and then shrugged. "And you say bought and sold? All right. But not, I think, needlessly spent." The Patrician flashed one of those sharp, fleeting little smiles to say that something that wasn't very funny had nevertheless amused him. "Veni, vici...Vetinari."

Terry Pratchett, Jingo

It’s not the same crushing grief you felt at first, the kind that swamps you and makes you want to cry in the wrong places and get irrationally angry with all the idiots who are still alive when the person you love is dead. It’s just something you learn to accommodate. Like adapting around a hole. I don’t know. It’s like you become . . . a doughnut instead of a bun.

Sometimes in life we have to come to terms with the fact that not everyone we care about is able to care about us in the way that we NEED them to.

It’s okay to let go of friendships and people that make us feel bad, even if you love them.

It’s okay to feel sad that you’re losing someone you love and care about but you HAVE to put yourself first. If not you’re going to continually get hurt and live in a cycle of heartbreak.

People change. Friendships change.

Ultimately you deserve better and there will be many people throughout your life that will show you that you are able to be loved and cared for the way you deserve.

Lost by losing you.

I feel so lost.

Some days I manage to live.

Only twinges of pain at the memories here and there.

Other days

Days like today

Its overwhelming.

It clenches my heart and drains air from my lungs.

It tightens my throat and erases any hope I have left.

On the days that I live

I feel guilty.

At the end of the day I’ll lie in my bed and feel guilty that I laughed at something funny. That I ate something I enjoyed.

That I spent time with a friend or a loved one and I was happy.

And when I look back on the time we spent together watching tv, or playing on our phones, not paying attention to one another.

I hate myself.

I hate myself for not appreciating it more.

Because I would give anything and everything to spend just one more moment with you.

To tell you how much I miss you.

To hold you close and tell you how much I love you.

How much you mean to me.

How much I wish I could see you one last time.

These are the things that I think about.

The things I wish I could Tell you.

The feelings that flood me with piercing agony and leave me feeling so broken and empty that every poem, book, song, movie and show depicting loss in such an aggressive and dramatically tragic manner makes sense.

Some days I live.

Other days I just survive.

I can never truly explain how much I miss you.

How much you mean to me.

How much of an impact you made on me.

You changed me for the better.

You were there when no one else was.

And now inexplicably you’re gone.

And it’s soul crushing.

Every part of losing you has shattered everything around me.

I’m lost without you.

I’m so lost by losing you.

Shards of My Heart

it hurts like the cold rain

That touches my skin

bold black letters

On the envelope below

Tell me all I need to know

He's gone away; here again I lay

Broken; destroyed; useless; annoyed

Words on post it notes surround me

Remind me of the past we once shared

The little reminders of whats not there

Photographs line the walls

Framed all perfect

Now they fall

My heart in pieces

Shatter on the ground

I pick a shard up

Doesn't make a sound

Look into it like staring through glass

All these emotions

A lifetime they'll last

In time they'll lessen in pain

But always in these shards

They remain.

huong1952: Letters in Autumn

Write me sorrow

Send me dreams

Write me heartache

Write me pain ...

      Write me losses

      Kiss my darkened eyes

      Write me loneliness

      Ease my sleepless nights ...

Send me sky without stars

Write me emptiness

Show me rivers gone dry

Sun that died

Love that missed

With the autumn wind

Send me the last leaf ...

It’s not fair.

It’s not fair

That I get to live and you don’t.

When all I ever wanted was to die

And all you ever wanted was to live.

When you brought so much light and joy

And all I ever brought was darkness and hatred.

It’s not fair

That a soul so beautiful

Was forced to leave this earth.

When you had so much love to give

And so much light to spread.

It’s not fair

That the closest I get to you now

Is by laying on the grass six feet above you.

When we used to lay so close

And bring each other so much laughter.

It’s not fair

That I have to live without you.

It’s not fair

That you’re gone.

But life isn’t fair…

Is it.
