What She Does in The Kitchen (Poetry because I don't know how to talk about feelings)

What she does in the kitchen
And what I do in the kitchen
Are two very different things
She slices and dices and cries in the kitchen
I sit on my bed during the night and listen to her
Some nights I walk down to the kitchen and
Try to be like her
But I cannot
Because even causing pain isn’t something I consider anymore
Because it would hurt too much
The one thing that I have to feel is what hurts the most
And nothing else
What she does in the kitchen
And what I do in the kitchen
Are two very different ways of confronting problems
I wish that I could be like her, and be able to cloud who I am
For long enough to feel it on my arms
To know that I could will myself to that point
But I can’t
When I am in the kitchen
I am not her
Alas, I am me
They say the grieving person comes in many forms
I am the worst one
When I am in the kitchen I do all the things I should be doing in the kitchen
But I feel the same things that she feels
But I do not act on them
What she does in the kitchen
And what I do in the kitchen
Are the same, but not in the way that it matters

ReplyFor me personally, I need distractions in my life. Yes, it is important to feel angry or sad sometimes, but when it piles up and becomes too much, I need distractions and by distractions, I mean anything that you guys could enjoy together, or even separately if you need a little space from each other. Most importantly though, just be there for each other. If you don’t know how to talk about your feelings, then just be there together. Never give up caring about each other.
