Poetry: Grief

by G. A. Sylverston

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.
