I feel no hollowness
no grief or pain
no sensation of something missing
the fabric is still intact
the universe has no hole in it
I have not lost a thing
he was already dead to me

I feel ambivalence. Pain for the loss that isn’t acknowledged, but relief for the soul that can move past the grief & accept the loss Beautiful poetry.

Wow. It’s astounding how not a lot of words can capture not just death, but of a final death where the world moves on from you. Great work! 🙂

I appreciate my own shifting emotions reading so few words. I like when writers can create that effect in me.
