Poetry: Grief

I woke up with Grief today.
He listened to my fears.
I felt him cruelly smiling
As he drank up all my tears.

He followed me to work
And shared my office chair.
No single person stopping by
Even noticed he was there.

Grief joined me at our table
And took your favorite seat.
He delighted so in staring
As I struggled hard to eat.

Grief is my mister now
Since you have passed away.
My life with you was temporary,
But Grief is here to stay.

    Easing Grief

    I have to keep
    reminding myself
    you are gone
    The ache still sits in reality
    with a private reserve
    of tear-jerking

    My grief has overwhelmed me,

    Do you feel my pain?

    My grief has nearly subdued me,

    Yet, you have no shame.

    I cared,

    And I paid
