Loss and grief wrap
around my spirit
They drag my steps,
pull me into silence,
Hone my thoughts down
to brittle bits of despair
Loss and grief echo
through my dreams
They invade my
nights, snap me into vigilance,
Pace with me from
room to room
Loss and grief whittle
away my heart
They cause my tears, push
me into darkness,
Force my days into protective
stillness
