Pain and Serenity

When Grief Comes Calling

Knocking becoming deafening

Echoing through my body

Hopelessness in the midst when

Grief comes calling

Staring profoundly into my soul

Looking where to take its next strike

Using me the punching bag

To see if hopes still alive

As it latches to my body

Grief selecting its new home

As I feel his fingers crawl

Getting a feel for a mortal body

Time passing me by

Telling me there is no hope to stay alive

Grief is already eating me alive

Weakened for happiness is out of sight

I walk in the ashes of my passions

Reminiscing with the baggage in my casket

I scream to be free, but I stay captured

Knee-deep in defeat of my own actions

Feel weak for the peace that I keep lacking

Precious tears shed in vain

Ravens soaring the sky

Wondering if there is any sign of life

Grief comes to make my grave

His voice echoing through my mind

My flesh giving up the fight

Giving me the urge to die

A flood coming down my face

Even the strongest soldiers cry in defeat

The foolish sight of weakness

Making it seem grief has its victory

Crows sing near my grave

Greif eating at my brain

Putting my grave on display

Treating the stone as a child

His time comes to an end-

Grief can leave my mind-

I stand here- while you-sore elsewhere-

Closing the door-

While you watch at a far- and hope-

One day you can come back home-

The despair you leave in the air-

Gone-
