Grief

Grief is sitting with your coat still on

Even though you’ve been home for at least an hour

Sore nose

Sore lips

And sore cheeks

A banging headache

And salty tears slipping away

Onto your cats head

Because he knows your sad

He can sense these things

So he crawled onto your lap

Grief is

Staring at a wall

With a feeling in your throat

That catches a quiver

Of a breath

Shaking but

You’re not cold

Or hot

Or anything

Cause you’re just there

Physically

But

Mentally

Unaware

You have no idea how long you will be like this

Maybe hours

Days

Months

Years

Maybe forever…
