I am Grief. Shadows in your mind, cobwebs in your throat, shaking hands reaching for someone who's no longer there. An unbearable loss. I leave you empty of words and feelings and life, yet full of emptiness, and sadness and hurt. Words are gone, light is too bright, sound is too loud, life is too hard. The lost one's voice, a ****** of laughter, perk up in hope. Remember that they're not there. Death is permanent and I am Grief, your friend.

I am Grief
I am Grief. Shadows in your mind, cobwebs in your throat, shaking hands reaching for someone who's no longer there. An unbearable loss. I leave you empty of words and feelings and life, yet full of emptiness, and sadness and hurt. Words are gone, light is too bright, sound is too loud, life is too hard. The lost one's voice, a ****** of laughter, perk up in hope. Remember that they're not there. Death is permanent and I am Grief, your friend.
