Grief

G  ut wrenching sobs
R  ip you apart
I  ntense pain squeezes your heart
E  ntrenched in the gloom where only death blooms
F elled by the tune from the Grim Reapers harp

.                            ~~~~~

You did a good job on this form and the topic. I still think about my parents after all these years (25). I need to go back to the cemetery to check on the graves to see if they are being well kept. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara
