MARCH

March came in a flash.

Books were slapped shut without any hope of continuation

and without any sort of momentum there was a crash.

The days in the calendar passing by confirmed it wasn’t my imagination.

The pain,

the uncertainty.

Everything was real.

And with that came that feel,

that sunken realization that darkness had found a way

into my uneventful family day.  

I cried.

I couldn’t believe my aunt had died.



I wanted to be the one in the rain

I begged to be the one to feel all the pain.

Making the ones that less deserve it suffer is unfair

My grandma wiped her hundredth tear,

I could only hold her

as she told me

again,

and again,

the last time she had seen her.

It reminded me of how easily people can die

without any chance to say goodbye.

and I directed all thoughts

concentrated all my hopes

into that ICU where my cousin was trying to breathe

and I only thought

get stronger and

live,

live,

live.

I promise you’ll have everything I can give.
