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 the price;

I shared,

And I sacrificed.

I would much rather think of you amongst pleasantries...

In the beauty of roaming amidst a botanical garden,

Consuming the sounds, scents and scenes of serenity,

And calm.

Grief,

Is what you've given me,

In exchange for caring.

Grief,

Is what you've exchanged with me,

In place of sharing.

I wonder...

Do you know what a grieving heart feels?

Pain

Pain

How to remove the pain?

It's consuming my heart,

Because I keep hiding from you,

The grief that you give me.
