All That Could Have Been

Grief is not a door you close

Nor a path that leads you home

It is the dark that wraps around

A weight you have to roam

Some say that time will dull the ache

Though the heart says otherwise

It's not the path you chose to take

And shadows fill the brightest sky

While you go through the motion

A part of you has gone away

And there is no magic potion

That will make you feel okay

Grief is endless, it's lifelong

You don't live, you just endure

Though some might say you're strong

You feel hollow, never sure...

Grief is not a door you close

It's a hurt sometimes unseen

It is the ghost of yesterday

And all that could have been
