TRAGIC Poem: Losing You, by Alexandra Bradley

With each year I worry more of you will disappear from me
Only able to hear your voice and laugh in short videos on a screen
I wish I could believe I’d see you again
But the thought of a god angers me too much
To even entertain the possibility
Cause if he does exist why would he take you from me?
This weight of losing you so early never seems to dull
Every time I tell a story of you
realizing how much time has gone by
Mark how old things are by when you passed
This sick twist of a knife every time I need to tell a new person you are no longer here
Any milestone I pass
Mothers day
your birthday
the day you died,
My graduation
This harsh reality never ends
This rage toward the universe
For taking you away
There are many things I can forgive
but this is not one of them
