Hold On Tight

A poem

By Sara WilsonPublished 4 months ago 1 min read

Be strong and wait. Just hold on tight

God will get us through

I'm trying so damn hard

but I'm so deeply missing you

-

I can barely hang on anymore

feels like my heart is breaking.

No... even worse. A break is clean...

but mine? It won't stop aching.

-

I'm not missing just the little things...

No... that would be cliche.

Feels like I'm suffocating without you

and nothing feels okay.

-

I can't sleep. It's hard to laugh

I can't stop myself from crying.

Be strong and wait. It won't be long

I promise you; I'm trying.

-

I never signed up for this.

We're not supposed to be apart.

You're supposed to be with me.

Your absence is obliterating my heart.

-

Be strong. Just wait. Just hold on tight.

It won't be for too long.

How do I convince myself of that...

When every minute feels so wrong?

    Blown away by how you distinctly separated the two. A break is clean, but yours won't stop aching. That is a line of steel. A line that cannot break it's effect. 'Your absence is obliterating my heart'. I find it hard not to jump between these two heartbreaking lines. 'Were not suppose to be apart.' It's so unapologetically real. None of this was cliche at all. These are words too many are afraid to say. It is the very thing standing in the way of something beautiful. I really do love this one for how open and vulnerable it was. A rare thing in this world. 🤗❤️

    Your writing made me tear up, it hit me in a very personal way. I’m so sorry that you’re going through heartache right now, and I hope that writing this has given you some relief. I’m going to nominate this for a Top Story on the Vocal Discord channel. *hugs*
