Grief Vs Mother Nature
To lose someone of whom u care
The loss the grief the utter despair
Bereavement the feeling of nothingness
Can also seem like a cyclone of pain there's nothing else that can compare
It's like the bleakness of a Winters night
The bitterness of a cold winds bite
The punishments of a volcanic eruption
The swiftness of tsunami's destruction
The thickness of a fogs blindness
The loneliness of being at sea, unable to see any land in sight, On a stormy night
A strike of lightning straight to ur heart Shattering it into thousands of pieces tearing your very being apart
Like the rumble of thunder a warning of lightning drawing nearer
The memories are a reminder like a mental trigger
Then the grief rises like tidal waves as its attack commences
As it crashes down and u lose all your senses
Knocking ur socks off and the air out your chest
As your legs give way from being emotionally drenched with stress
A tropical rainstorm of tears come flooding through ur eyes
As u realise that you have to say your final goodbyes
Grief an emotion of utter destruction just like an earthquakes shake
Causing everything in its wake to crash and break
Trembling from top to toe from waves of shock
The loss washes over u like an aftershock leaving u feeling just like a pile of rubble
You're exhausted emotionally spent, in a mental muddle
Yet there's no escape u can't be saved
Like a forest fire it keeps raging it's flames blazing and depraved
Every nerve every corner of your brain every single tiny little vein
Like a burn the pain of the loss pulses Causing physical palpitations in your heart As u recall the memories, remembering & reminiscing
Like whirlpools, the thoughts swirl & whirl when you realise that someone's missing,
The reality of the situation psychologically tears you apart
Grief's path seems and feels as destructive as mother nature's natural disasters
Yet after a storm breaks then the calm cools to close & open chapters new & old
As the destruction heals, and the wounds seal The memories will live on
however grief is like volcanic lava it can lie dormant in the background
Sort of like being in the lost and found Until it erupts the grief reappears to restart
You strive to find the drive to fight to continue
But like a volcanic eruption destroys everything it runs into
The grief will consume u
Mother nature's anger causes natural disasters to tear the earth apart,
Grief does the same, leaving emotional scars and a lasting hole in an already breaking heart.
