Day 97: “Severance”


What if you didn’t feel loss

Well you did

But it was the other you


Severance


And when that loss came up

You’d be a different you

One that holds all of that pain


I wonder how heavy that’d be

And would the memories go too?

The good, happy ones?


What would it be like to sever the grief

Would it be like they never existed at all?

Would it be unfair to yourself?

Your other self

To give them the loss

Or would they be better off

More resilient

Stronger


What would that make you? Without the grief?

Would you even be you at all?
