What World is Left (2008)
“But I can’t cry. It takes energy to mourn the loss of someone you love. Energy to cry. Energy to remember all the things that were, all the things you took for granted. The times you laughed together, the stories and secrets you shared, even the times you cried together. All of the last moments. The last time the two of you walked down the road on the side of the central square—the narrow road reserved for Jews. The last time you waited together in line for ersatz coffee or lentil soup. The las...t time you stood together as darkness fell, looking up at the stars and making a wish.
It takes energy to think of all the moments that will never be. The letters we would never exchange when this insanity is over. If it will ever truly be over...
But I don’t have the energy for any of this. My throat hurts too much, my belly is too empty. And my heart feels empty. If I lay my hand on my breast, I can feel my heart beating away, but I know the truth. It is just an organ. Inside, my heart has become as hollow as my belly.MoreLess
