Another loss

You’ve managed to keep everyone in the dark, just as he wished. Yet I knew it’s going be too late for him after the week’s past.

You were always lurking nearby for the past two years. You spared my cousin two months ago and for that, you took my friend instead. I see you and I hear you. But can’t you at least give me a break? The loss doesn’t seem to shock me anymore. It only brings numbing pain.

So how are we to handle this? I don’t want to see them crying. I don’t want to feel their sadness. I want to hear their laughter and the songs that they play. He wouldn’t have preferred it any other way.
