Sorrow Abides

Life is crueler than literature

By Pitt GriffinPublished about a year ago 1 min read

It is better to have loved and lost

Than to have never loved at all

Grants scant comfort to a man

Eviscerated by

The harsh excision

Suffered alone

Of losing

His one

About the Creator

Pitt Griffin
