Grief

Breathing

In and Out

Enough to stay alive

Seeing

Through sun glasses

As if watching an old silent movie

Hearing

Muffled sounds

How can people continue to talk?

Smelling

Nothing at all

Touching

But not feeling it inside your heart

It is a shroud

Covering a living body

Changing all you once knew

and who you once were

It is a new reality

Forever pulling you along

Even if you don’t want to go
