"Grief"
The label given to sorrow I cannot describe
The black cloud under which I hide
The sated reaper by my side

"Bereaved"
The name given to my new found state
The sadness still to raw to rate
When, too early, he became late

"Mourning"
The word given to the crushing despair
The dawn of darkness none can share
Which I can't believe is ever fair

"Loss"
The misnomer given for those now taken
Love and life already forsaken
The sleep from which he won't awaken.
