My Grief

mourning poem

 

My Grief

My companionship

Is unbearable

As I grieve

 

Forgive me

For there’s no relief

 

Nothing comforts

Or consoles my anxious soul

Everything’s a thorn in my side

My darkness I cannot hide

 

No quench for this mighty thirst

 Magic pills cannot subside

This sea of pain

That resides in my heart

 

I’m a slave of mourning

A raging storm of anger

And regrets

 

Time has been my thief

Robbing me of my dearest love

 

Throw me in

My pit of doom

Bury me deep

Within my tomb

Author's Note

Just thinking about what a bitch it is to grieve.
How it just pours out of your soul like an ocean.

You've expressed grieve perfectly here. Tashandra is right. This is something we tend to avoid writing about.

Grief is a hard thing. Some pain need time for mourning. Your strong words and story in this poem made the poem a pleasure to read. I like the powerful ending to a excellent poem.

Grieving can be a b***h, but you expressed these thoughts with such beautiful lines. Its a subject we'd rather much avoid, but you pushed open the envelope to something different.. and different is good just like this piece. Wonderful piece, thanks for sharing.

Grief can become a tainted ocean, if you let it. Grief in it's truest sense is the dying of life and the beginning of memories. In memories, anything bad, seems to get lost. We choose not to remember bad things. Upon my death, don't feel grief for me, but happiness that I was alive and that you came to know me, at all.

I loved the write, however; a subject we tend to avoid!
