The pain is much greater than losing a limb or organ.
As they lower my sister deeper into the ground, I feel as though a part of me is going down with her.
One by one, people step up to the grave and drop a red rose on top of the coffin, but when itβs my turn, I gently toss in a white tulip.
It describes her more. Innocence. Loving. Beautiful.
But most of all, it asks for forgiveness.
The priest says one final prayer beside the headstone.
My fists tighten when he says βAmen.β
It should be me in that grave.
the pain
of again
amen
it was so
but never ever again~!!!!!!!!
