Grieving You

teardrop

Sitting in my room alone   

staring at the things I own

Silence screams in my head   

as I wish for peace instead.

The walls at night close in on me 

making it hard for me to breathe

I sometimes block shit from my head

try to move on like they said.

I think about you every day

This pain I feel won't go away.

I hide my tears so no one knows

but alone at night, I let them flow.

I forget to breathe and gasp for air

sometimes to find it's just not there

My silent tears scream so loud

I'd pray to God if I knew how.   

I grieve for you every day

it does not matter what they say

You live always in my mind

Son, I miss you all the time.

      Jim, Im sorry you too are grieving. You know in October 2000...my Mom, husband and grandma all 3 died in a 2 week period. I was so very lost for such a long time and seriously believed I would never see light again. And when I finally found my way, my son passed and I can honestly say, I have never ever felt so much pain. Thank you so much for reading me. I wish you a gentle healing,

                  Grief is a station we must bear. I feel you. Sums up the heartache of loving without fear, yet expectation can be unkind.
                  Go easy and allow the process..there is light on the other side. Great poem

                    Deeply felt, sorrow can become joy with the memories of your boy.

                  • Cassie58

                    The pain of losing a child, surely the most harrowing of all. Dear teardrop, every word felt. Grief so very difficult to navigate. You can get lost so easily.
