Grief is passion reversed, it's that and worse, When we are in despair, a smile is rare. I'm in pure anguish, and here I languish. Through the midnight air, a whiff of her hair. I have prayed to God, I think He's a fraud, Sitting on His throne, leaving us alone. I shriek and cry, for a woman gone bye, My soul's in retreat, some days I don't eat. I lay silent at night, no will to fight, My mind is blanched, I recall how you danced. My heartache is deep, you've made me feel cheap, I suffer for love's death, can't catch my breath. Love can be two-faced, and tries to erase, Love full of pride; you were to be my bride. You chose to let go, and not let it grow, Shattered around my feet, our love so sweet. My eyes are cried out, now I want to shout, Tears did not work, I just felt like a jerk. I see you sometimes, and you look sublime, I want to speak, but turn aside, I'm weak. "The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation."-Vladimir Lenin |

The heartache that pours from your pen is intense... It is so hard to put grief in its place because it loves to master our lives. Excellent write! |

I know you're right, Startime, that is the hardest part, getting through all these days and worst of all, the nights. "The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation."-Vladimir Lenin |
