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
