The room is quiet—you are not;
Your dying eyes recall a thought.
Who will be there at night in my bed?
Who will lie on the pillow above my head?
Your breathing has slowed, but not my tears.
While the world turns, so grow my fears.
Who will help me through this next part?
Who will be there from the very start?
You were—and are—my greatest friend,
Together until the very end.
Somehow, still in silence, I can hear
The echo of you, close and near.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
