Shades Of Grief

A heavy weight blooms here in my chest

Videlicet, air escaping the room

Trials in life, make a sinner confess

While its greed quickly consumes the gloom

Grief finds a way of filtrating the bones

like the air that diffuses my lungs

Casually stealing all sense of hope

severing the voice of my tongue

Oozes and bleeds from a wound that won't heal

permeating everything that I grasp

Deeply eroding every feeling I feel

binding my spirit tightly in its clasp

Immeasurably immersed in a season of gray

the trauma finds solace in red

Draping me wholly in its velvet display

replaying the scenes in my head

What I used to was once now is over

what I am still remains to be seen

Searching for promise in fields of clover

grasping for someone that I've never been
