The First Year Of Grief

A reason I look for but none do I find
As many thoughts run through my mind
At first my tears flowed like the rain
Hard and heavy full of intense pain
The grief and the sorrow came from the heart
Now feels empty and barren where you are a part
What you didn't realize in your pain and misery
How your final act would make my life empty
The grief so deep the anger so strong
I felt like on earth I didn't belong
Those first few days had turned into weeks
I can still remember the tears flowing down my cheeks
The sleepless nights and the nightmares I had
The emotions and visions those were so sad
The holidays and birthday that soon came to be
My mind and heart dreaded the deep misery
My faith was shaken for answers I couldn't find
Uncertainties abounded in my confused mind
The weeks turned into months as time went on by
The problem continued as I couldn't find out why
Now a year has come and life goes on
I can still remember the day you were born
I must keep in my heart all the memories of you
It's all I have left so unfortunate but yet so true
