It was 2023
August 22, she was stolen from me
But not gone
Only half of her
The half I mostly needed
When she was stolen from me, it was far before her time
I wasn’t ready
When she was stolen from me, her spirit had gone
And mine had lost its vessel
I remember that day so clearly
And for once, I didn’t want to accept reality
That something you had your whole life
Can just simply be stripped away
That day, a part of me left
And has never come back
I was lost
I had lost
And nothing could change that
Til this day, I still wonder if that portion finds its way back towards me
But I’m used to life
Used to change
Used to lost
Used to relying utterly on faith
