A Tattered Path of Sorrow

You grieve for them. You grieve for yourself. You live for them. You wish you had passed on as well. You imagine everyone you love will be taken from you. You move forward each day, even without choice, haunted by fear. You hide tears behind every smile as you celebrate each milestone and you wonder what life would be like if. If only you weren’t on this tattered path of sorrow, journeying alone.
