It’s a terrible word, isn’t it?
A word used for something that isn’t
But it’s more than just a word
It’s the unexplainable chasm in your chest
It’s the rivers streaming down your cheeks
It’s the overpowering numbness in your body
It’s the sadness that isn’t known until you know
It’s a loathsome word
But again and again we have to use it
