#128 (Grief.)

3 1 1
                                    

My throat is sore,
From holding in my sobs,
From breathing so hard,
From barely speaking.

My eyes sting,
From the tears I've cried,
From keeping them in all day.

I've cried in other people's arms,
Felt their love and care,
Because I'm letting go.

This is how it feels,
After doing this now twice.
I don't know how I'll handle it,
The third time,
The fourth time.

This is how it aches,
Pulls at your heart,
Rips at your brain,
This is how it hurts,
And all of us will feel it one day,
Or another.
