Grieve

the process

taking the time to grieve

pointless

the blood curdling screams

the hysterical sobbing

crying on the floor

in the fetal position

afraid my insides will come

pouring out

find the strength each day

to wash the children

to feed the children

to love the children

then night comes

the quiet

the ear piercing quiet

the empty side of the bed

I feel the grief trying to enter

but I push it away

too much, too hard, too strong

I put up a fight

but is it much too strong

and again I fall down

into the darkness of it all

and grieve

Very powerful. Thank you for sharing your soul~ pat

I am so sorry for your loss. I couldn't imagine losing my Husband, even though I have experienced loss. Him and my daughter, I truly don't know how that would affect me, I suppose something like this...or worse even. Writing does help with the pain. I hope you achieve your dreams in life. Know he's always looking out for you and would want you to be happy in life. Your grief was very well expressed.

Thanks for the reviews!
I love this poem.
This is exactly how I feel about my grandmother who just recently passed away.
You expressed it well.
