Grief is a Ghostwriter

Grief is a ghost writer filling the page
Tearing the soul and drowning in rage
Exposing the pain of one that is lost 
Searing the mind whatever the cost
Penning the end of all that was shared 
Punishing angst for those that are spared
A heart that still beats but loses its rhythm
Trapped in a world where light has no prism
Darkness is now all which is seen
For love that is lost, a love so serene
