Grief is a beast

Grief is a beast

that doesn't have a heart.

It pushes and pulls you

and tears you apart.

the sorrow, the numbness

the constant heartache

that demon will find you

and leave you awake

It slips in and takes you

it gets in your bones

It creeps in your ear

then it wanders and roams

I'm lost in it's darkness

and can't find my way

If I stay here to long

I will surely decay

secrets

I think I have a secret,

at least it has felt that way.

So much happening on the inside,

I can't keep it all at bay.

A clash of joy and sorrow,

grief that sneaks up too,

a new outlook for tomorrow

and a love that I never knew

Nothing is forever,

that I sure do know

For now our world is different

and I will bask in the afterglow
