A WALK-ALONE

Written in memory of my late mom

Days pass by

Months stretching into years

And with each passing day,

I have come to realize

That grief never really ends

Whoever said time heals all wounds

Has not gone through the sorrow

Of losing a loved one in death

Time doesn't heal all wounds;

For this deep wound in my heart  remains

This scar reminds me of every memory

Every pain of what I had lost

And what could have been

 

Time, they say softens the pain

How can it?

Does a pain that is not faced go away?

Time really doesn't heal

It teaches us to live with the pain

Whilst it remains

It should be remembered

That to grief is to love

Grief is plainly love with no place to go

All the love you want to give but cannot

Grief is a walk-alone

A walk-alone down your own path

And even when others try

To be there and listen

You just have to learn to face it

Head-on and squarely

Learn to deal with the pain

Hold on to the good memories

Don't push them away

Try not to hold it in

For to grief is to love.

Time really doesn't heal
It teaches us to live with the pain
Whilst it remains
It should be remembered

Love this, sad but true, nicely written and emotional
