"Grief Departed" There came a time I'd thought my life had ended And hope, to me, seemed oh so far away For Grief and I were bitterly befriended Together wallowing in slow decay I saw no light beyond the endless shadows Heard no consoling voices from the gloom Just Grief and I together at the gallows His noose around my neck like certain doom I begged each lonely night to be released While Grief crouched at my bedside smiling His whispered words of sorrow never ceased His tender voice so soft, beguiling Yet now I've left those nightmare days behind As Grief and I have went our separate ways And though peace is not an easy thing to find At least I know it's never far away January 1, 2009 AMdG "My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends--it gives a lovely light!" -Edna St. Vincent Millay [This message has been edited by Arius Miura de Galdri (01-01-2009 07:42 PM).] |

I have felt this way, and you wrote Grief as it should be written. Happy New Year to you. |

Arius Miura de Galdri - enjoyed reading this writing, as it brought back memories of the one called 'Grief'. However, I kicked him out one day, and he has not returned. Nice write, and wish you the best... BC |

Thank you so much everyone! Everybody here is so amazing, I'm glad that you all enjoyed this poem, and that so many of you can relate to it. Grief can be a powerful thing, until you realize that it really has no hold over you at all.
