A Grief Poem

Without You

I try to fill the blackhole inside of me

With material objects

But none of them can replace you

***

I try to spend more time with others

To fill up my time

But none of them are you

***

I convince everyone that I am strong

That nothing’s going wrong

But nothing is right without you

***

I try to get through my day with a smile

Tell myself I’m just fine

But I’m just not without you

***

I cry my tears alone at night, whisper your name

Where I can be alone, pretend it’s all the same

But nothing is the same without you

***

Where are you?

Please tell me—

Where are you?
