Lonely Grief

Lonely Grief

I try to see what life has planned for me.

Is crying in grief and sorrow my bane.

I lost my parents, poor old orphaned me.

I know for sure my loss is heaven’s gain.

 

A child remains one in her mother’s eyes.

No matter how big or how old she turns.

The world can hear her heartache in her sighs.

Everyday her eyes water and heart burns.

 

Alone and bereft as I sit and grieve.

I remember the laughter and smiles.

My desolation you cannot perceive.

Even if you walk in my shoes for miles.

 

Vacantly I gaze into nothingness.

Can you find a cure for my loneliness?

    Losing parents can be so heartbreaking no matter how young or old we are, and I can totally feel the sadness and the sense of loss in your words.
    There are some pains and griefs that we never come out of, we just learn to live with them.
    Hang in there! But also know that they will always be with you, close to you, around you, until you live.

  6. I have always wondered if time could heal these wounds or fill up the space… or is it just us growing accustomed to the empty spaces. We can try filling them up with cherished memories and feel grateful to have received their love and devotion.
