Grief

How painful is grief

How helpless is grief

Its a like a rock kept on the heart

While you are trying to get up an lead a life 

You walk around with this rock as if it does not exist

You move on as if nothing has happened. 

Once in a while, you notice the rock 

You get crushed under its weight

It breaks you, it takes away the earth from underneath your feet

It takes your breath away. 

It takes away a part of you each time,
 that you will never get back

Every night you sleep into nothingness

You cease to exist for a while

But when you wake up to reality

You wish reality were just a bad dream
