Grief by Toyer Fahie

GRIEF

Grief sat next to me

The words were few 

Yet I was understood 

There were no complaints 

No chatter of how soon

Things will get better

None of the usual 

Hold on to the memories 

Grief knows that my heart 

Is now a crypt of splinters 

And the hurt is so deep

Like an abyss 

And the only light I see 

Is from the glare on the surface 

From the river of tears 

That I’ve cried
