WALKING WITH GRIEF by Joanne Boyle

"WALKING WITH GRIEF" by Joanne Boyle
Side by side we walked,
together grief and I.
Carrying my life's remains
under a darkened sky.
I asked when it would leave.
If the sun would shine again.
I asked if it would heal,
if it could stop the pain.
Grief took its time to speak.
I often wondered why.
Many times we sat together
and all i did was cry.
Grief never ever left me.
and then one day it said.
"Iam going nowhere,
so learn to live with me instead."
I then befriended grief.
It then began to talk.
I looked forward to its stories,
when side by side we'd walk.
Together we shared memories
that i had locked away.
Grief is now a part of me,
and i accept its here to stay.
