fragile petals

Grief seeps into my bones like a cold wind Frosting my soul, & numbing my skin

An ache that pierces,

a sorrow that clings

Leaving me breathless,

in a world that's moved on.


In this desolate landscape, I wander alone.

I know my family understands,

but there are no words to describe

the pain I feel.


no one to talk to.


no one to hear the whisper of words

between my tears.


Time may heal, but memories

bring tender stings to my heart

everyday.


And yet, even as I weep for what's gone I'll hold on to the memories,

like fragile petals torn from their thorn.

For in their delicate beauty,

I find solace and strength.


A reminder that love can never truly be undone.
