WINTER GRIEF

You hear rainfall.

You feel tears fall.

Soaking pillow,
a hard pill to swallow.
What a pain such a miserable drain.

Nights linger
during this bitter winter,
triggers the
grief
and
isolation,
fears so deep.

Sleep the only distraction from a reality filled with much agony.

A reality in which he who you call
Father
can no longer
be your company.

You still
          see
him...

walking the halls.

You still
hear
          him...

calling your name.

You still
                                        feel...   
his
presence in all.

A mind so
clouded,
denial seeps in,
shortsighted questions arise,

why you?
God, why him?

Night
comes
morning,
you wear a smile,
darkness fakes light,
who are you now?

A winter grief,
still... 

    in disbelief.

What a drain.
Such
misery
in
pain.

Rain falls
still.

Thou tears are
now dry.
