It Still Hurts
I may smile
it still hurts
is it denial?
Rejections
in my mind
that cross from time to time
Sometimes they cut
deep
wake me from sleep
Loss comes in many ways
I’ve learned that living my days
Sometimes the ones that hurt the most
trigger something close
they may not have died
yet I feel it inside.
Heartfelt poem that resonates with me, my grief
Personally even over time it never truly leaves
I just carry it more lightly as time moves forward.
This reflection reminds me of many moments I have. It still hurts but I learned to go with it. Thanks Jane… you aren’t alone 💞
