Crystalizing Sadness

I wore

My favorite black dress

To the visitation,

Now,

It is no longer

My favorite.

The family all stood in a line,

A line of black

Suits and dresses,

Their bond even tighter

Now

After everything they had endured

Together.

I bit

The inside of my lip

Hard

In order to keep the tears at bay.

I tasted

Blood

But my pain did not matter,

I was trying to be steel

Titanium

And they were clay,

Full of love,

As they wrapped me in their arms

“Thank you so much for coming!”

“We love you!”

I was not expecting such strength,

Such love,

It seemed to crystalize them,

While it turned my heart to rust
