The Grief Remains

Life must go on and people forget my pain,
Most never even knew.
Yet inside, my heart grows weaker,
It’s been a whole month without you.

Spring arrives and the rain matches my mood,
The house feels far too big for just me.
I sit here still in loneliness
and reminisce upon your memory.

That goofy grin, those shrieks of joy,
That pure energy I loved.
Those big ole tears, those inmost fears,
Those hardships we prayed to God above.

I thank the Lord for gifting me
two years of growth and bliss.
For the days of struggle and early wakeups
that I now severely miss.

I miss the dancing, I miss the laughter,
I miss the cuddles on the couch.
I miss the scolding and repeating,
I miss the days I was a grouch.

I know your love hasn’t faded,
You’re molded deep within my heart.
I’ll forever love you, baby girl,
only God could keep us apart.

One day you’ll come back to me,
though I know not when.
Even if it’s not ’til heaven,
you’ll forever be my best friend.
