Tag: Grief

The gush of grief came upon me

Before I knew it had me engulfed

Trapped in my misery so terribly

I was left so scared as a result!

 

My own sighs seemed surprising

I didn’t know I could reach this spot

The tears flowing incessantly

Had me thinking how I reached this rot!

 

Breathing was hard between my sobs

My heart felt crushed with pain

Every gasp seemed a plea for life

But nonetheless – it was in vain!

 

No way looked worthy

No one seemed to care

No helping hand, held out

The world kept moving

All around me 

No one seemed to bother

That I was left out!

 

The gloom hit hard

Nothing seemed good

Even my shadow seemed to have left my side

The dream that someone will care to stop

Seemed so silly and hurt me deep inside!

 

The grief surrounded me from all directions

There seemed no possible escape

The burden of my thoughts was so much

Taking even a step had me precipitate!

The high tides overpowered me

I tried, but then gave up

This grief will have me down

Till I muster the strength to swim back up!
