The Grief Within

The inner experience of profound grief

Deep dwells the grief within,

 

A reservoir of endless pain and  tears;

 

Darkness shines eerily throughout,

 

Blinding all my thoughts with sorrows

 

That rain down inside away from view;

 

My soul lies shivering in the cold damp

 

Of perpetual night, drenched in grief, frozen

 

With memories of a life too briefly lived--

 

Ugly there, forever dead--and undead.
