Grief Came to Visit
Grief Came to Visit Grief came to visit again last night. “F off, go away!” I said, But they stayed. I was so sad. "Why, why?" “It’s part of life, my dear.” “No! No! Why…?” "Because death is part of life." I cried quiet tears. "I know, I know," I sobbed. "But why?" "It hurts so." “Because when you love deeply, the pain runs deep too. But so will your memories— Magical, full of happiness.” Slowly, the smiles will return. My brain, soothed by my heart, Will find peace— But not normalcy. Not yet. For a while, everything will be off. When death visits, grief moves in. Today, I must take her with me. I’m heading out. I hope she behaves; I can’t be crying on the SkyTrain.
