Grief

'Nuff said.

Long silence

A body at rest.

Life

No more.

Anger pent-up

With no target

In sight.

Turned inward

Consuming the soul

Like a terminal cancer.

Tears burn

Down the face

Like a lava flow

Unabated.

Guilt and shame

Blended together

In the perfect smoothie

For a tainted soul.

Waiting for

That moment

For the pain

To end.
