Unbearable grief overwhelms,
Sinking like a rock into the abyss
Of the shadowing darkness,
Reaching, grasping for something,
Anything tangible to feel,
just feel.
The light is bleak,
Slipping away,
Farther and farther from reach.
Beyond the edges of madness,
All that she was is gone
Nothing but the scrap of a memory.

Trapped in memories of our yesteryears,
that are locked in archives in my mind,
I can’t advance while stalled in the
A Hole
Grief it fills me it's in the marrow of my bones
It's eaten away a part of me and now...
I fear a repair is
by Phateful
Healing grief
The pain of grief sweeps over
A suffering and trembling soul
It bows the head, bends the knees
Shoulders trembling
It has been two weeks
Since the news you closed your eyes
My heart still aches as I think of you
My tears still flow, my cries
