Something Blue

 Grief is hard. It is relentless And exhausting, 

And a constant reminder Of the void in our lives. Grief is painful. A physical pain

Within our chest, Reminding us That our hearts have splintered. Grief is exhausting. It takes everything To keep going. Day after day, To live for our loved ones. 

Grief is isolating.

We feel alone,

As if no one understands. 

As if we are drowning,

And no one notices 

That we don’t know how to swim. 

Grief is scary. 

The thoughts in our heads

Get dark and real. 

They tell us “just let go,”

As if no one would care

If we slipped away. 

But we are not alone. 

So many others know this pain,

They feel this void, too. 

So say their name. 

Tell the stories 

Of those you’ve lost. 

Tell me about your person,

And smile at the good memories.

Cry for their absence,

You are safe to grieve here. 

We are not alone. 

We are not alone.  

We are not 

Alone.
