  • 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!
