my overbearing friend

Grief my friend, you’re back again

You’re coming by so often

Daily knocking at my heart

When I just want some time apart

I know that you’re the parts of me

Wishing things had stayed

Or dreaming of what never was

And screaming at the pain

Denial and depression

I bargain and I fight

Against inner acceptance

I live a half lived life

Wholeness comes from feeling

Every storm inside my soul

And letting self compassion

Comfort me until I’m home
