Grief

The process of saying goodbye to lost loved ones
a phase when your heart and mind argue about reality
a point in life when all nightmares become death
Grief-payments by the survivors, payments for the memories of past happiness

It turns sweet memories into terrifying nightmares
Memories of laughter, become nightmares of horrifying howls
Thoughts of shared tears drown you in oceans of depressionEach heartbeat, another strike to an already aching heart

Grief makes your face and tears best friends
Each tear reflecting the blackened crowd of mourners
Each tear a shard of glass from the broken window to your soul
Each tear prohibiting your sight

Grief-your guide towards a meaningful lesson or a dark abyss
a path that teaches you to appreciate life
or the abyss to your death
the path decided by how much your tears have blinded your vision
