Love Poem: Recovery

Recovery

I've been
Numb inside 
since he died

Even though
I'm frozen 
I can still feel 
the pain 

Times like these 
I wish I could
just lose all 
circulation. 

I though he was 
immortal 
but I was wrong

He showed me
exactly how 
fragile humans are

I broke that day 
when he died 
piece by piece 
I fell to the ground

Like London bridges 
I fell down and kept falling
for too long 

It took a while for me 
to realize that he's gone
but I'm not. 

I'm fixable. 
Not all of me
will be exactly
the same.

But life is not over for me. 
Sometimes I still need to remember.
Maybe I'm still in recovery.
