6 months anniversary

its been 6 months and ive been thinking about it. so i wrote a poem in memory, and for the anniversary which technically i think is tomorrow..but it depends on what you count. the day they found the body, or the day she actually departed...
peace.

6 month reflection

there is still a presence gone from within me
but I feel a different sense of healing.
Healing, to bring closure
To outrun grief
I stopped saying goodnight and blowing out your candle
The routine made me sick
So I started a new way of keeping you in my heart
Your altar carries a heavy presence that I cant seem to look at for too long.
Like the pain of losing you has dissipated enough that I cant reach it if I put out my arm. Id have to reach farther to feel for it.

I will see your babies soon
Mi familia.
I was so adamant in being a part of their lives and now ive been to busy to be close
The next time I visit your grave
I will
I will just miss you .cus that..s all I need.

Freedom is not said by those who don..t ever see it.
So I don..t tell people im free
I don..t pretend to be over it
I don..t pretend like you still here
When your not

Although we all wish you were.
The man whos names I will not speak is rotting
And waiting
Y hermano es fixing the solution the only way he knows how
Torture, revenge.
Getting at him through his jail cell.

And yet
I just miss your strength
And we both had it .
but its been 6 months and time has not done anything but dampen the emotions.
And dry the routine tears each night.
They only come when I really sit and think about how bad it was.
My escape,
Music.

6months u say. It seems like yesterday.
