Grief pounces on my heart like

a tiger, ripping and tearing into

all thoughts of you, splattering

tears that run down my face.

 

Standing by your grave I can

feel you beneath my feet in a

holy place mirroring the space

in my heart where I hold you dear.

 

Linger with me so I can find another

memory or two to treasure away

for when I need you near.
