Heaven Sadness

The overwhelming sadness

The emptiness

Hollow

Inside

The depths collapse

And tears become crucial

Fingers can’t even type

Thoughts can’t even transpire

The sadness is strong and soft

And spoken with silent words

And the whispers of the glare in your eye

All I can do is say “Hello”

Crawl up

Feel the sadness

Penetrate my heart with fools

And attempt to be brave

Wrap myself up

In a pretend womb

And cry and cry and cry

Until I become nothing

And I tell people

Sometimes I wish I would get sick

And I introduce to people

Sometimes I wish I was my Oma

Dying and blaming and falling apart

Sometimes I wish I was my Grandmother

Dead and six feet under

Because there is no comparable pain

To the pain of the ache

And the sadness, the emptiness, the nothingness

You feel after you travel through heaven
