GRIEVE

I don't think I had enough time to grieve you
I never do

One day and a school year of hell

One tear and hundreds of nights

One death and hundreds of lives

I still learn
The summers here now

I still cry
The hundreds of nights stack up

I still breathe
So many people, but I still feel alone

But life goes on without me
Whether I want it to or not

The water still loves
The trees still change
The snow still falls
The flowers still bloom
And the sun still shines brighter again
The seasons still change
Summer, fall, winter, spring, Summer

Summer again

I've never had enough time to grieve
And because of that, I don't think I'll ever be better
