Loss and Grief

I feel a sense of loss Why do I feel this way? Clinging to dirt and dross This loss I grieve each day It's now all in the past The past that hurts so much A friendship that did not last Memories - I dare not touch Yes, my heart has been wrung By hands that hurt as well Hurts I breathe in my lungs My voice - a chimeless bell Now no anger remains Only tears and regrets Here I sit; where it rains Where rest and sorrow meet Does she hate me till now? Am I her enemy? Now why do I allow Such thoughts to beset me? In grief, God comforts me In turmoil, He gives rest He is helping me see In sorrow, I'm still blessed
