Separation Anxiety ♥️

Separation Anxiety ♥️

I never knew

How much you meant to me

Until you left.

I’m stupid.

Foolish.

A total dickhead.

Every day

Since that Thursday

October 22nd.

Every day

Since that day

Has felt like...

I’ve been attending the funeral

of the battered woman

That I came to know as

My mother.

I’ve been attending

Her funeral for

41 days straight.

Nonstop.

The pain I feel.

The separation anxiety

I’ve been experiencing

Is the same pain I endured

When I found out the truth

About my mother’s death

On November 1st, 2014.

Losing you felt

Like I lost her all over again.

Losing you felt

Like my own death.

I’ve never been

Afraid of

Death until

Now.

Excuse me while

I prepare my body for

The wake.

But first...

I have to attend

My mother’s funeral again.

For the 42nd time.

Perdona su pueblo señor.
