you feel so tired but you can't sleep

All of Abaven mourned Shaye’s loss, but Poem could tell as Corvus joined in her tears that her mother was not who they were for. She had to admit she didn’t really remember her cousin’s parents, and she wasn’t sure when he had lost them or what happened to them. Likely no one did. Poem wasn’t sure what was worse, burying her mother or not knowing what happened. As she agreed with him, he agreed to her and echoed his distaste before reminiscing further about Shaye.

”She really loved Abaven, she lived for us.” Not just herself and her sister but the whole pack. She gave all of herself for them. Corvus offered up some encouraging words, maybe happiness would take some work but they would attain it once more someday. She sniffled lightly and tried to mirror his small smile. Maybe she wasn’t there yet, but they were on the path to recovery. There was hope. Maybe this feeling of loss would never leave, but there would also be happiness again. ”Maybe not impossible.” She agreed before taking in a steadying breath and rubbing the damp tears from her cheeks.
