The Sadness of Grief's Death

The Sadness of Grief’s Death tears, wretchedness of an all consuming sadness, emotional cannibalism devouring the host draining the will to live, to breathe, crushing the reality of memory’s dust. grief, crowded desolation of an empty room hints, contours, shaping vacant chairs, aromatic kisses wafting on the air shrieks of melancholy’s mournfulness – unheard. death, stalker of the living’s life greedy to take that which he never felt denying those who come to know his need for death is not the worst thing to happen - to the grieving it is just the last. 7/26/2016 submitted to – Three Stanzas-Three Only – Poetry Contest sponsor – Broken Wings
