Grief stabs like a knife
anger frustration pain
rollercoaster of emotions
spiraling out of control
tears fall like a
cascading waterfall
with only rocks at the bottom
jagged uncaring if you fall
lashing out at others
trying to ease the pain
dark despair engulfs you
sinking deeper into the void
no light to shine darkness is endless
yet daylight will emerge
your emotions are getting under control
facing the grief from which there
was no tomorrow
realizing that others have been
where you are now
finally embracing the sunshine
and the love that others have for you
putting your grief to rest.
