Kara's Song: Love, Loss, And Learning To Live Again

By Cris Burl

My memories of Kara are becoming hazy, like a dream that I woke up from and quite can't remember. Life without her has become mundane. It's as if the colors of our world have faded to a dull hue. Without her lighting up my life, I'm thrown into a pitch of blackness, darkening my existence.

I feel as if I'm standing on this precipice of inner turmoil. On one side are demons, filling my head with negative emotions, their thoughts fluttering in my brain, bats scattering in the darkening nights, searching for their next meal, my happiness, my soul.

On the other side of my precipice is her. She was standing beautifully in a ray of light, waiting for me to step off the ledge into her outstretched arms. Her smile weakens my resolve. With only one step forward, I can be where I belong, with her in my life again. With one step back, I lose her sunshine and I'm pitched into the bleak night once more as she fades more from my memories. I'm frozen in place, unsure of my decision. Both sides devour my soul, but I'm scared to make that jump. So, I stay unmoving.

For now.
