Say nothing

Please say nothing. Let me breathe in this pain. Let the pain in, let it wash over, leave it to overflow. At the end of this pain there is nothingness. The way through contains every pain ever felt, and to feel pain is to be still alive. So let me breathe it in. I want to hold this pain in stillness. This neverending grief that won’t be smaller, nor more distant, like some far away dream. I’m not ready to breathe out any of this pain just yet, so say nothing. When life grows around this pain, this grief, this hole, it will define its shape. But not today. Today the pain just is. And if you say nothing, only for now, while I hold my breath and the pain burns in my throat, for this eternal right now never ending breath, I know you can see it too, and you will say nothing.
