A Sharp Reminder

Teddy.15

 

Carrying my grief 


is like having a broken rib


the very moment I forget


and find myself laughing...

 

is when I remember everything.

            Teddy, this hit me hard. It's incredibly simple, yet it captures something so many people who've carried grief will recognize instantly. Those last two lines land with quiet force. Beautiful piece, my friend. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿฆโ€โฌ›

                  some grief springs up at the oddest times and puts a pause to your happiness - but don't let it deter you - the pain will depart when given time...
