Grief
Emptiness is all I feel
A void, nothing more
I sink to the ground and kneel
I am vacant to the core.
It slams me like a semi pushing 70
The pain in my chest beyond words
I wish, but know there is no remedy
That happiness in my heart, has flown off with the birds.
The tears rush forth unstoppable now
The waterfall of sorrow comes forth in a stream
All I can think is why? How?
Hoping, praying that it’s only a dream.
Books always describe it as waves of grief
and I can agree.
Drifting on the tide of despair like a leaf
out in the storm, not in the lee.
It’s all left me hollow
A void, nothing more
Sadness it is in which I wallow
I am vacant to the core.
