Members superbcandyangel Posted July 9, 2019 Members Report Posted July 9, 2019 I have been told That after so long I shouldn't be feeling this way. That I shouldn't feel like breaking Every time I hear that song. That I shouldn't shatter Every time I hear a car horn Or a hit and run headline Or her name. I shouldn't still be crying When I think About the rainbow over her funeral And how she would've loved to see it. I shouldn't weep For every year I've lived More than she ever got to. For everything that she'll never see. I shouldn't still be writing poetry About her. I shouldn't. I shouldn't. I shouldn't. Grief doesn't listen to shouldn't's. Grief hears a shouldn't And it sounds like a car horn. Grief hears a shouldn't And it sounds like a challenge. Grief hears a shouldn't And it sounds Disappointed. It's been over a year. Two. Three. I can't believe you're still grieving. Why aren't you over it? Why can't you just be over it? I don't know if I'll ever be. Yes, I still jump at car horns. Yes, I still cry over the songs we sang. Yes, I wish it were different. I wish it could be different. But that doesn't make me wrong For feeling. For crying. For grieving. You shouldn't tell me how long I'm supposed to take To move forward And I shouldn't listen if you do.
