Sadness: A Poem About Grief

Sadness

For this week, I wanted to share a poem I wrote for my best friend and sister who passed away in February 2017. The pain never gets easier, especially when something like a birthday happens. I wanted to express those feelings in this week’s post. A poem I call, Sadness.

Sadness creeps inside my head

Within the thoughts of you not being here.

Your birthday passed on Sunday,

And I wanted to call you on the phone.

Then  I realized you were gone!

So all I could do was cry myself to sleep.

I miss you, sister!

This pain doesn’t get easier.

Each time I think I have it under control.

My heart just aches more

For the moments we shared

Laughing and talking about life

And singing along to songs from our younger days.

How I miss those times.

This pain inside me

Is like nothing I have ever felt.

No matter how hard I try,

It is unbearable!

My only solace is trusting in my faith.

I pray to God to give me guidance.

Sadness creeps inside my heart

Knowing you are gone from this earth

Though I know you are in a better place, you are always with me.
