My Bottle of Grief
I had to bottle up my grief,
when my dad died.
It was sudden when death came like a thief.
It was I, just a girl with tears to hide;
that went to the funeral home,
while outside my bottle was the world.
I still see those caskets where I had to roam,
and pick one- while in my bottle I curled.
I took time before I could shatter the glass,
and accept what is but the grief will not pass.
