Private Grief

The tears I cried
Locked up inside
When she died 
Nowhere to go.

The love I felt
Made my heart melt
Was bitterly dealt
A crushing blow.

These silent tears
Span days and years
Of inner fears
Yet nobody know.

Commiserations, if this is your story. It is beautifully penned. Simple, sad and clear. Many wishes, Kai

Thank you for your condolences. I lost my best friend to a heart attack at the age of 30 last June. It was a heartbreaking experience
