What I’ve learned from grief?
What a strange statement…
Grief, what I’ve learned, grief
My heart aches, my body throbs, my head spins
Nothing, I’ve learned nothing
The world is screaming for help
Throats raw, fingers bloody, hair ripped out
My chest radiates with agony
The loss of mine, yours, ours
But then I hear your voice
The sun shines through the windowpane
Glaring at me
A rainbow beyond the clouds
The numbers escalate, spiral and spin around me, us
She is lonely; he is terrified
Heartache pulsating in my veins, sorrow drowning me
I am screaming under water
But then I hear your voice
The flowers blooming on the windowsill
Clouds, white and light, in the sky
Birds fluttering by, trees pollenating
My body quakes at the thought
They’re gone forever
None of this will ever be the same
But then I hear you
In my heart, in my body, against my flesh
You are a part of me
I know you are out there
I’m not alone
You’re vibrating inside of me
Even while I
While we
All
Grieve
