A Grief Unleashed

The empty spaces that you left
Are filled with shadows, dark and deft
That haunt my every waking breath
And fill my dreams with loss and death

The silence that surrounds me now
Is deafening, it echoes loud
The absence of your voice so clear

The memories that we shared with joy
Are now just cruel reminders of
The love we had, now lost and gone
A grief unleashed, too hard to bear

The tears that fall, they never cease
As I try to find some kind of peace
But nothing eases this heavy heart
Or mends the broken, shattered parts

With other things, to find some rest
But nothing seems to take the place
Of your sweet smile, your warm embrace

So I'll keep holding on to you
And all the memories we knew
And hope that someday, somehow, someway
The pain will fade and I'll find my way

But until then, I'll mourn and weep
And hold you close, in my heart to keep
A love that's lost, but never gone
A grief unleashed, forever strong.
