Grief

You're still there. In the back of my mind, in the back of my heart. Hidden, so as not to hurt too much.

But then a song plays, someone says something. I shake my head to clear it, but there it is....grief.

Tears course down my cheeks.

It's too painful. Wounds open again and again. Questions, no answers. I push you back down Down to that place.

I don't want to cry anymore but I know I will.

Grief doesn't go away.
