When the grief becomes to hard
and you push everyone away
Then run as fast as you can
Into the light of another day

When you spend sleepless nights
Crying to the man in the moon
And wish for nothing more
Then to be with old friends like you

When you look at the bottom of a bottle
And know that there no answers lie
But yet go and open another
Just to get you through the night

When you push back so hard
Because someone wants to get close
Yet you know you can't deal with
Just another goodbye in a long list of loss

When you close your eyes and picture
All the hours of yesterday
Still you can't seem to remember
Why you hold on so hard to today

Thats when its gone to far
And you need to reach out
Don't give up, there's still fight in you
You can make it through this round



Your time is here.  Take one last look at it, then never come back.  This part of your life is already over...

I liked "boxing."  Maybe even, shadow boxing.  Good right and well expressed.  Sometimes, it does feel like this.

Title suits the poem. I do also like the suggestion Shadow boxing.
I enjoyed this poem. fave stanza:

When you push back so hard
Because someone wants to get close
Yet you know you can't deal with
Just another goodbye in a long list of loss
