Love and Accept

Location

Death teaches us to love and accept.

 

We are all forced to learn this lesson while we love and watch the people we love slip out of life.

 

I watched the nurturer of my existence slip away cold

 

We always ask why

 

But there is never an answer satisfactory enough

 

She hung in her own desperation for a way out

 

The person I loved the most voluntarily left

 

Why?

 

When someone we love goes some part of us leaves with them

 

I have spent years trying to get that part back

 

So much despair, disappointment, and desertedness

 

Life, love, and death they have so much in common:happiness, struggle, pain, hope, loneliness, confusion  

 

The hardest part is moving on, and some of us don't.

 

But we are forced to accept it no matter what.

 

So love and accept
