Grief Poem by Susan Alldred Lugton

Grief

Rating: 4.0


Grief,
the resounding echo
to one’s new reality.
Existing in time,
without part of one’s heart;
on the edge of self pity.

Grief,
the resounding echo
feeling, so surreal
Existing in time,
without part of one’s heart;
pain, deep, unable to feel.

Grief,
the resounding echo
tolerating days,
Existing in time
without part of one’s heart;
the mistake for which one pays.

Congratulations on poem of the day! Thank goodness grief is not a big part of my life, so it's hard for me to relate, but the poem is well done!

Susan, this poem was perfect and brought me to tears unlike others on Poemhunter. I’m going to read it at my sister’s celebration of life. It is true, one does pay for caring. Thank you.
