Favorite Quote:
"Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it" -Mark Twain


You can sense it

Loss

You never know when it will come

But when it does it makes itself known

It all starts with a solemn messenger

Then a state of disbelief

Some refuse to ever believe they’re gone

Grief manifests itself in many ways

A river of tears

Anger thrashing inside you like the restless sea

Or Depression’s shadow sweeping over you like a shroud

The numbness can overtake you

You’ll cease to feel

To love

To live
