Disbelief then numb
Hearing words that don’t make sense
suicide gunshot somewhere he knew he would be found
Was he depressed? Is there someone you can call?
Every conversation, every argument, every word dissected.
My world turned upside down. Love that I knew, believed in, was a lie.
How did we not see?
headaches tremors dizziness irritability noise sensitivity night sweats
“It’s Parkinson’s.”
“No, It might be cancer.”
“Reflux”
“It’s just a balance issue.”
Where did we go wrong?
Every conversation we’ve had is now rewritten.
Angry last words that can’t be taken back. You left without saying goodbye.
I should have called.
Would you have answered?
