“Love is tethered to grief”... By poet.
An all-encompassing shadow,
grief stalks you wherever you go.
It tucks you into bed at night,
where it manipulates your dreams.
And you awake to nightmare screams,
alone with your thoughts, filled with fright.
Grief binds hope with sorrow and pain
as your tears burn like acid rain,
and darkness diminishes light.
Your beliefs are consumed by grief,
for faith offers little relief
with the promise; it'll be alright.
An all-encompassing shadow,
as grief wells up, tears start to flow.
And your chest suddenly feels tight
as trickling tears morph into streams.
And nothing is quite what it seems,
it's like falling from a great height.
Grief often overwhelms your brain
and just about drives you insane;
inking everything black-and-white.
Within this state of disbelief,
self-pity becomes your motif,
lamenting; that life is finite.
When you live in constant sorrow
nothing in life ever feels right,
for grief robs your life of gusto.
