four months. my baby.

i hate when people tell me you lived a good life. i know that. you lived a great life. it was my proudest achievement. you, the most precious thing in my care.

i hate when people tell me you lived a long life. i know that. i remember being 17. it’s the oldest anyone can ever be. but i missed your first ten years. i only got seven. which is not that many.

i hate that every single thing still costs money. i hate that the other cats won’t sleep in your spot, so i just can’t sleep. i hate the stupid fucking zit situation on my chin that just won’t quit. i hate that i worry about money even in my dreams instead of trying to meet you there. i hate that it really feels like all my ability to withstand the world died with you. i can’t do anything anymore but sleep and cry and eat bagels. i hate my body. i hate doing laundry. i hate that you’re gone. i hate that you’re gone. i hate that you’re gone.

i hate when people tell me you’re still with me. you’re not. you’re nowhere. no two beings have ever been farther apart than we are. our shared soul having to stretch to encompass the entire known universe.

three months today, peanut man. all five ‘stages’ of grief, all the time.

denial: i just forget that it’s true. but every day there are hundreds of sudden jolts of remembering. the bottom drops out every time, a million tiny free falls.

bargaining: i’d live in our flooded basement forever if i could live there with you. i’d keep you alive post-stroke when you couldn’t walk or even support your weight. i’d do all the walking for both of us and carry you around forever if i that were an ethical thing to do. i used to whisper ‘i need you to fuckin RALLY’ in your rose-petal ears when i thought about death. you rallied so good. i’d give up bagels or iced tea or being literate or laughing or even listening to music if it meant you could rally a little longer.

acceptance: you are the great love of my life. at least i know i’ll never have to go through this level of grief again. and frankly, i never want to love anyone else as much as i love you. they aren’t seal, so fuck em.

depression: … but i’ll never be so loved again. i’ll never be so good at loving again. i’ll never see you again?! how can this be true?! (back to denial i guess?)

anger just occurred to me last night when i found myself crying on my way home to the apartment you’ve never lived in. but i’m mad at the circumstances, never at you. you’re the best boy. you did a perfect job of dying. i just wish i could go with you. by @rovwade
