Grief is like
living two lives...
One is where you
pretend that
everything is alright,
and the other is where
your heart silently
screams in pain
I never believed that
these feelings would change
I thought it would
stay this way
until I leave this life
It did change
So slow that I didn’t
see or feel it happening
No longer screaming
in silence
No more hiding
in the bathroom so
no one sees
your tears
No more pretending
We do move forward
We have changed
We are brave
We live and laugh
and love again
Without guilt
I learned a long
time ago that
it’s ok to fall …
That’s love
Always getting back up
With their guidance in
and love along the way
Until we meet again…
