Grief is a heavy ocean wave,
That crashes and breaks against my shore.
It lingers, and I am left alone,
As I try to find a way to cope.

The days feel longer, the nights seem darker.
The skies seem greyer, my heart feels heavier.
It's a weight that I can't escape,
And I can't seem to find the strength to cope.

The future feels out of reach,
My joy has been taken away.
I can't seem to appreciate what I have,
My grief won't let me be okay.

So I sit here in my sadness,
Missing those who have gone.
It's a pain that'll stay with me,
Even when the grief is gone.
