Grief

Grief is a heavy ocean wave,
That crashes and breaks against my shore.
It lingers, and I am left alone,
As I try to find a way to cope.

The days feel longer, the nights seem darker.
The skies seem greyer, my heart feels heavier.
It's a weight that I can't escape,
And I can't seem to find the strength to cope.

The future feels out of reach,
My joy has been taken away.
I can't seem to appreciate what I have,
My grief won't let me be okay.

So I sit here in my sadness,
Missing those who have gone.
It's a pain that'll stay with me,
Even when the grief is gone.

Thank you for reading and your comments. Grief is something we encounter more often than we think, especially as we age. I felt a need to reflect on my feelings about grief.
