Remaining with Them is Like Losing Them
To hold on to the dead is to forsake
Them. Holding on is like a woman in
Denial when divorced. The pulse of ache
Will not decrease no matter what his sin
Was. Hoping for his love again will shove
Him even farther into darkness. At
Least that will be the inner outcome above
All other likelihoods. A man who sat
Beside you in the pew and who has died
Is even more divorced from you. To try
To hold him is like moves to be his bride
Again. That dream can only go awry.
..Let go of him. Let go his force and hair.
….Abandon him. Holding on is despair.
