Or longing for the person you do have...but not completely. My partner lost all of those longings after a surgery...I have not. damn I know what this song is all about!!! |

| Chris Pureka – So It Goes Lyrics

This song hits really close to home because it makes me think of my time after my 15 year old brother committed suicide. "Your trying to find a compromise between remembering and learning to forget; so now just pouring a glass of water is like trying to move boulders with your breath." This is EXACTLY how I felt in the aftermath. The simplest things seemed like it took so much effort to get up and do and accomplish...I wanted to remember everything about my brother; how he looked, smiled, sounded like when he was laughing...but remembering these things always brought me back to the fact that he was suddenly gone. "Reconciliation of guilt and grief, it's the hardest battle you've tried to win and now every year you grit your teeth as it cuts you underneath your skin." This is how it feels years after his death still. The little anniversaries of his birthday and his death...still hurts badly. "Don't leave me breathing, no not alone, there's so much more I meant to tell you... I went by with flowers, just to see, but the granite told me you're still gone.... " The granite being the tombstone...my brother was cremated but I can so see the visual of someone going to a gravesite with flowers and the tombstone being the ultimate reminder that it wasn't a dream...that the person is really gone.
Absolutely haunting! |
