Black Friday

Folder: 
Dedications

I try to be strong,

but sometimes

my emotions come

pouring down my cheek.

 

Like Black Friday,

that dark day,

that settled in like 

an eclipse on my soul.

 

And it lingered there,

while I stayed in bed

for days on end

barely able to survive.

 

Yet somehow I did,

I kept breathing,

even though everything in me

wanted to end it all.

 

A month later,

my heart still hurts

with no solace in sight

except you by my side.

 

And you make me strong,

you carry me through the pain 

and promise to bear it 

with me forevermore.
