don't grieve

that space you left
when you left
is full of dead things
that I take
out and shake
every now
and again
to see if they
still breathe
but then
I realise they are
still dead
and I remember
now
what you said
back then

don’t grieve

You should consider a proper burial. No need to mummify old cats and an ivy and whatever else she left. Though it's a bit sad you didn't feed and water them.

Cheers!

If they are just things...perhaps they never had life in the first place? Let them go...and take a long, clean deep breath...

Spread your wings a little bit more, every single day.

If she loved you, she would want you to grieve...

And these things...they do breathe..with us.

Never shake the dead things, unless they turn out to be dice.

Greif is a natural process, one that must be dealt with, and then you move on..

This too shall pass.

Oh, they were once alive and kicking, believe me.

The problem with cleansing breaths is this cigarette gets in the way.

Sometimes, even when you think you've moved on, grief comes by for a quick visit.

It's as good a breakup/loss poem as I've read in a long, long time. I like the ending especially.

It becomes rather habit forming, doesn't it. Almost a routine in nature. It would be nice to reach the forth step.

Depends if it's a term of endearment or not, I suppose.

Not actually. But if there is still chance to win her heart back, why not give it a try even if it might be risky?

Constantly going back to the same grief hurts.
