My Grief, Mine Alone
I want desperately
to write about you
To tell the world
how wonderful you were
and how lucky,
anyone who had the
Privilege
of knowing you,
would be
My thoughts…
won’t settle down
and let me
pen my feelings
I’m too afraid
if I do the flood gates
holding back my tears
will tear loose their hinges
and the tsunami of grief
will drown my soul
to write about you
To tell the world
how wonderful you were
and how lucky,
anyone who had the
Privilege
of knowing you,
would be
My thoughts…
won’t settle down
and let me
pen my feelings
I’m too afraid
if I do the flood gates
holding back my tears
will tear loose their hinges
and the tsunami of grief
will drown my soul

Powerful write, H. Into the list it belongs. Grief is an emotional flood pouring from the depths of our hearts. Appreciate you.

My dear, we were born crying. It's part of our oxygen. So don't shut it off.
Good people cry bad. So be a mess.
It's so good to see your words, ya know. You give so much out to others, we deserve a chance to give back to you. Even if it's a cloudy day on your mood, we will raise our lighters and treat you like a rock star.
Your write is very touching, on all of our human levels. It has an ache that reaches out to the reader to where we have no choice but to grab our chests and sigh along.
Well done, H.

This crystalizes my recent thinking about how I ought to have composed all of my poems in past tense, since with enough water under the bridge all poetry necessarily becomes epitaphic, no matter our initial intent.
A rose to you, good lady, as we are all naturally tragedian. 🌹

Dear H,
My heart made a little jump when I saw you released a piece. You don't post much, but when you do it's spectecular. Onto your piece: it resonates deeply and moved me deeply. I too, am afraid to feel for the tears might drown me. Thank you for sharing such a gem with us 💕

I'm with the others. When I saw that you posted I was overjoyed. And I agree with everything that Styxian said. You're always here for us. I'm glad you opened up and are leaning on us. Being vulnerable isn't easy.
It feels like the crying will never end but it will. Letting the flood gates open is cleansing and the release can be life altering. You will be a changed woman. No worse for the wear. Take it from someone who's had her share of grief. It's difficult, but once you open that faucet you will ask yourself why you didn't do it sooner.
Thank you for trusting us with your words. Holding you in thought, Honoria.

Dearest H,
Please do. Write about it, cry about it, we are all holding you here. I second everything the others have said. You've given us all so much support.
And also - I know how that private grief feels. But even if I didn't, you've written it so beautifully here. I love when you shared your words & thoughts.
