The Right Choice

Grief is just the start

the right choice 
still comes with grief
loving yourself 
doesn’t always create ease
you'll still be mourning
and choked up between sheets

you'll find yourself cursing stars
crying at the sight of flowers
and the muse will attack you
in those lonely after hours

all that space you made
in your heart and mind
will close in on itself
in a search to find
the light you have now
extinguished

the care you felt won't leave 
just because you did
and every experience will 
feel a little empty 
even putrid

for joy is a feeling you
must now experience
all on your own
everything is horrible 
when you have to experience it 
alone

and although you made that choice 
with the utmost care and love
healing is still required in your heart
be kind to yourself
grief is just the start
