What is grief in the moment that you lose someone you love?
You weep all day and night and question God up above,
At first, you don’t accept the fact they left you all alone,
Denying their very absence and that they are truly gone,
Anger becomes your friend and helps you build a wall of pain,
Keeping others out so you can find someone to blame,
Bargaining with God, you plead for Him to let them stay,
Your request remains ungranted, because life doesn’t work this way,
Depression takes your hand and keeps you warm all through the night,
Withdrawing yourself from life, so that the darkness becomes your light,
Months and years go by, and you learn to live without their presence,
And finally one day you come to a point of acceptance.
