Kurtis Steigmann Poet Rhyme

Bereaved

Waking up not knowing how to feel 
A friend that I haven’t known for years 
The unexpected news not seeming real
Sadness but vacant of tears
Not wanting to stay in, but knowing I will
A moment of time personified by my deepest fears 
Waking up not knowing how to feel

Time passes, unlike the pain 
The world is bright but my mind is grey
Constantly feeling the same 
Waiting for the end of the day 
Thinking of the name 
Struggling to cope but there’s always a way
No one but life itself to blame
I’ve heard all the words people like to say 
Time passes, unlike the pain
