Unblinking grief

  • I met her through this site. She knew me but how much did I seek to know her?

    hell she fucking died in October

    and I just found out now

    felt like getting punched in the stomach

    by something you barely knew

    or never really tried to

    last thing she wrote me was on a picture from when I went to Tokyo 

    she said she was happy to see me around again and that she missed me

    man I told her I missed her too and hoped she was doing well

    who could've known she died 6 months later

    and left behind her two beautiful kids

    fuck dude I'm sorry

    i saw your photo last night and thought I'd hit you up

    and little did I know that I never could 

    I'm sorry Kim 

    ---

    “the last cigarettes are smoked, the loaves are sliced,

    and lest this be taken for wry sorrow,

    drown the spider in wine.

    you are much more than simply dead:

    I am a dish for your ashes,

    I am a fist for your vanished air.

    the most terrible thing about life

    is finding it gone.”
    -Charles Bukowski
