Can we talk about grief today? 

I’ve got a story to tell 

So, please listen

There are things no one teaches you 

But you’d learn yourself

You’d learn that, 

Some souls are too beautiful 

For this world 

So they leave

Grief knows my name 

But grief calls me what she likes; 

Grief calls me grief

She tells me I’m a fairytale 

And I can never be happy 

Even in my after life

Grief is my home 

The place I now rest my weary bones

Grief doesn’t leave me 

Even when everyone walks away, 

Grief doesn’t have legs 

But grief chases me around

Every now and then 

Grief has no eyes 

But she stares at me

She sees me, 

What really is the colour of grief?

Grief has me in her claws, 

She is coming now and then 

Somebody save me, 

I am slowly falling for grief 

Let me not fall for her

But then nobody has the right 

To tell me and you

How to grief, 

How to cry, 

How to shout, 

How to scream,

But in the end, 

Please promise me “you’ll be fine”
