In the morning grief is real
Its not going to kill you
you're not going to die
It remains here
The night before it threatened
gnashing of teeth
screaming
headache
heartache
Pain that carried with it
the promise that it can't go on forever
a fire eventually burns out
In the morning light there is the absence
the loss
the emptiness
that is forever
the pain that stays
that you live with
reality
of something missing
new scars mark your face
this is your face now
you live with it
