The Pain Of Grief
It comes quietly but quickly
Stealing away your breath
A pain in your heart so strong
Caused by a loved one’s death.
It’s cold and harsh and painful
It weaves through your soul and mind
Tears that flow like a river
No peace in your heart you'll find.
A harsh reality it makes you face
Such an emptiness in your heart
A longing so unbelievably strong
For the love that’s been torn apart.
The nights are long and terrible
Old memories rob you of sleep
Remembering every precious moment
And in the quiet of night you weep.
Sorting through old pictures
And some will make you smile
But then you're overcome with pain
And you'll cry again for awhile.
No one can understand it
Unless they've suffered this way
And then they come to realize
That their grief is here to stay.
In time it may get easier
But it always will remain
Inside a broken, shattered heart
And a soul that’s etched with pain.
