It's Then Poem by christine mcCherry

I get up each morning to face a new day
People will ask 'Are you doing okay'?
I smile and reply 'I am doing just fine'
But you and I know I'm just spinning a line
If I told them the truth that I'm breaking apart
And the fact of your loss tore a hole in my heart
They would panic and say 'I have somewhere to be'.
And some would not stop the next time they saw me
But yet in the night when the curtains are drawn
And I find myself lost and completely alone
It's then I can let my real feelings come through
And shout to the heavens they haven't a clue
Its then when the grief and the tears start to flow
It's then I can say how I'm missing you so
