The ache in my heart has yet to dwindle
It feels like it’s frozen in time, as if it forgets
And when it remembers, it feels it all, all over again
It’s like reliving the most haunting nightmare
And my body reacts. I get stopped in my tracks
I let it release. Then I calm myself down.
And I keep walking forward.
I think one day I’ll look back and see how much this is healing me
How much I am working to mend my broken nervous system
But right now it just feel like small, tiny deaths I experience every day
But I keep walking forward.
