The thing about grief is-
There’s no time stamp attached;
The hours seem heavy,
And the days all crawl by;
You’ll remember their laughter,
Like it’s just minutes past;
You can still feel the warmth
From your skins’ last contact.
The thing about grief is,
It demands it’s due right;
An overwhelming emotion,
Which demands to be felt
It demands to be lived,
As a passage, a rite;
In order to see past,
The darkness of death.
The thing about grief is,
There’s no time stamp attached.
And like most things in life,
It doesn’t last forever.
It feels like it lasts forever, though.

Time does heal all wounds, even those made by grief. Another emotional and provoking piece, Ameena.

That’s so beautiful. The thing about grief is that it is overwhelming at first but that gradually fades away. I loved that last paragraph. Beautifully written, Ameena!

Thank you very much Shweta. Yeah, eventually, it does fade. You feel the ache until one day you don’t.
