Grief hit me like a wave Swelling up on the typically calm shore. But I don't know if I can surf today. Regret sinks in the pit of my stomach Your voice echoing in my ears Deep breaths, just hold it together My lips are numb, this can't be real. But it is. And you're gone. Fireworks lose their luster, Dull against the dark of night. I hear the cheers, but I don't feel them. How can I when I just lost a piece of my heart?

Grief hit me like a wave
Grief hit me like a wave Swelling up on the typically calm shore. But I don't know if I can surf today. Regret sinks in the pit of my stomach Your voice echoing in my ears Deep breaths, just hold it together My lips are numb, this can't be real. But it is. And you're gone. Fireworks lose their luster, Dull against the dark of night. I hear the cheers, but I don't feel them. How can I when I just lost a piece of my heart?
