What to do

My pain is a tornado

Yet to be unleashed

But I bottle it all inside

Never let them see me cry

Especially not Paul

My cry of loss

Is heard through dimensional walls

Can you hear?

I'm trying to get out

Driving me crazy

All this emotion seeping through me

Do you even care?

The phone is ringing

But I'm not picking up

I just lay here

Sleeping a sleepless sleep

It's so hard

I don't know

What to do

My pain is a tornado

Yet to be unleashed

But I bottle it all inside

Never let them see me cry

Especially not Paul

Sometimes I wish

This were all a dream

But standing at his funeral

Gave me some perspective.

He's died

And now he's dead
