Grief
Grief is a deep, depressive black colour,
It’s the taste of a stiff, burnt, cold steak.
Grief is the smell of rotten cheese, and wet dog,
It looks like a sharp knife slicing into something it shouldn’t.
Grief is the sound of sniffling people and awkward silence.
Grief feels like someone’s punched you in the gut so hard they made a hole.
Grief is like falling, and falling . . .
Always falling.
