Just Awhile

Grief, they say, will go away, But mine is here to stay, Following me around Without making a sound. Getting ready for my tears As I get dressed and fear The plant that I hold dear, Because you are no longer near. One moment of anguish— Now I languish. I see a glimpse of you Staring through The window of my soul. Breathing hope is the goal. Your brown eyes Reflect in mine and tell me what lies: Beauty for miles, Even for just awhile.
