Grief

You feel bone tired, you lay down You stay wide awake, mind blown Eyes red, skin puffy, chest sore You dont know about anything anymore Everyone appears to treat you like a bomb You understand this problem Your heart is heavy, not on your sleeve So it is the way of it with grief You stare at nothing a lot No one wants to know the cost It’s then you go back in memory They were a main character in your story It will never be as it was then Thinking of that brings the pain again You say the word wish too much now But you would give anything to know how People wasting life away becomes your pet peeve So it is the way of it with grief Don’t want to hear the people say it gets easier, NO Anger is easier but that’s not the way to go You feel raw, wrung out, a shell You wallow in your own personal hell Time to you is irrelevent All your patience is spent You just want to wind back the time To have one more day would be sublime You throw up until its dry heave So it is the way of it with grief They are all stuck on repeat Sorry for your loss, you feel beat They are in a better place now You don’t really see how All you see is pain and tears This is all your worst fears Time to lay them in the ground Say goodbye, dirt on the box, a final sound You find it so very hard to leave So it is the way of it with grief Time does pass and it eases slowly still Please don’t poke my façade, it takes a lot of skill The pain and the memories stay It will become bearable to think of them one day But now it rips and tears you up inside It will become hard to hide Your thankful for the time you had, however breif So it is the way of it with grief
