Grief
Is a monster
It eats you up
Then spits you out
It tears out your heart
And then your soul
Until you no longer feel whole
It rips out your insides
And abandons you
Left only with your sadness
Quivering
With every beat of your heart
So when i hear
Of another's grief
I remember the soul shredding
Grief of your own
Grief evolves
From the initial
Roller coaster ride
Of a myriad
Of ups, downs, and somewhere inbetween
Of emotions
Time
Separates, and divides
And moves us on
And eases the pain
A little at a time
The weird thing
About grief
It isn't always about loss
Through death
But also for those still living
No longer in our life's
I know both versions
