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 needed
I've got tapes of all kinds, staples and glue
For there is a hole you see...
A large hole
And I've needles and thread, thumbtacks and
glue
But they are all so useless
The only thing that can repair this hole...
Is You
All the warmth
All the love
Cannot make me whole again...
For this hole
Is irrepairable
Without You...
And no matter-no amount of tapes or glue, thread or needles
Can mend and fix this hole within me...
Can repair the hole you left...
And I know you are lost to me
But I will not make another hole...
I will not try to follow you
For I know it's not my time...
I will not make another hole in someone's heart...
I will live on with mine

Poetry: Grief
by Sid de Knees
Hey Dad, I love you.
Oh father promise me, you'll live,
if it should be that I die first,
don't ever starve yourself of life,
or
It is four years now since that awful call
And still I cannot stand up proud and tall
My mind crawling in darkness round
where
Trapped in memories of our yesteryears,
that are locked in archives in my mind,
I can’t advance while stalled in the
Grief
In the grip of grief, I suffer the pain I feel
It is so unreal, the hurt, a distasteful meal
That makes me weep,
Loneliness
When the Dark
Brings Tears
............
I gazed out toward
the cold graveyard
and wondered if
she was peaceful
