I pack my last shirt.
The light slowly pricks my skin.
Like a waking limb.
----------------------------------
I'm leaving for good.
There is no turning back now.
Swallowed Acceptance.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Oh, oh. This is no easy task, haiku to goodbye. Hoping its not real life, if it is...over the rainbow find gold. Well said though.
