Living With Greif

by Willow   Mar 23, 2011


She can feel it pressing against her
Squeezing the happiness from her mind
She's drowning in the confusion
Gasping on each reminder and choice
She still grieves for what was lost
The tears still glide down her skin
As she sets the candle alight
She prays they are now at peace
She whispers her love to the scented air
And mumbles something about regret
The flame hicupps softly
While she let's out a sob
It seems nothing lasts forever
Even though we believe it should
Her heart crumbles apart again
She feels it breaking inside her chest
The room becomes suffocating
The candle becomes too much
They can't be brought back with a wish
No matter how hard she tries
She collapses to the floor
As despair takes control
When will it become easier to bear
When will this day no longer hurt
She pulls her knees up to her chest
And cries out all the hurt
The candle has burnt out
Before she once again becomes numb

RIP Tracy Cleary 23-9-84 to 26-3-10
