Theresa's Grief

Theresa's grief 

Monday came to death 
And there is no comfort for Theresa 
No comfort to ease the pain of his passing 
Theresa wishes to join her love in the afterlife 
But for the sake of her children 
She lingers on 

Theresa lingers on in darkness  and in doubt 
As night falls in winter that comes without a star 
There she  dwells bound to her grief 
Under the fading trees
Until all the world is changed 
And the long years of life are utterly spent
There is nothing here for Theresa
Only grief. Only death.
