The Weight of Grief

A Heart Heavy with Sorrow

By ik dogenPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

The weight of grief, it pulls me down

A burden heavy, I cannot lift

I try to stand, but stumble 'round

My heart aches with each painful shift

The tears, they fall, like rain in May

A constant reminder of my pain

My soul is tired, my mind astray

I fear I'll never smile again

The memories, they haunt my dreams

The laughter, love, now turned to ash

The world goes on, or so it seems

While I am left with grief to stash

Oh, how I long to hold you close

To feel your warmth, to hear your voice

But now you're gone, forever lost

Leaving me with little choice

So I will mourn, and I will cry

And I will try to find my way

But until then, I'll wonder why

The weight of grief is here to stay.
