In her eyes,
a universe unfolds,
Where whispered
dreams and truths untold.
But barriers rise,
a fortress tall,
Against the tide,
I yearn to fall.

Grief,
It's a painful thing.
I do not remember a time without her.
She has been by my side for- well,
what feels like forever.

Maybe there was a time where she wasn't around.
I miss when she didn't drag me down.
Make me drown.

She has held my hand since your dying day.
I was too young to know better, so she grabbed my hand and took me over.

At first, I did not realize how dead she would make me feel inside, but now I've come to see that grief is just love with no place to be.

I love you; it's killing me.

Salt filled orbs, refusing to fall.
Locked behind a dam, they silently call.
For release, for freedom, for sweet escape.
But they are held captive, in an unbreakable shape.

A hurting heart, a broken Soul
Feelings too deep, to ever be told.
Eyes that deceive, a smile that hides.
The pain that is within, forever resides.

The tears that don't fall, leave an endless ache.
A burning sensation, that no one can shake.
They swim in our eyes, but refuse to spill.
As we hold them back, against our will.
