ICHOR AND TEARS

the other side

if you tell me that death
will not mean the end of us
then only I can rest in peace
because I can handle
the pain,
the silence,
the darkness,
and everything else
but the possibility
of never running into you again.

— i am not scared of death
i am scared of not seeing you after,
for a land without you
is no promised land at all;
i hope to stumble onto you
on the other side
