grief isn't sadness
grief isn't pain
grief isn't something
that words can explain
grief is an ocean
grief is a flood
grief is like having
your feet stuck in mud
yet grief is a stronghold
grief is a rope
grief holds onto you
when life's lost all hope
grief means it happened
grief shows it was here
grief is the proof
that love's never fair
if i don't feel grief will i feel anything
or will i just go numb
sometimes i feel like if i don't grieve
then it never hurt me
like it never even happened
so i hold onto the pain like a life line
while letting it pull me under,
drowning me
but at least i know for sure
it hurt
