Love Poem: Grief

Grief

i’ve seen among the shadows
in the corner of my eye
a foreboding melancholy
ever present pure and nigh

upon forseen inception
came the beast without respect
laying claim to all emotions
pouring darkness down my neck

clouds of memories will float
inside of distraught dreams
allaying but for precious breaths
the pain of tortured screams

a prayer for those who suffer hell
from loss of man or wife
for these poor souls bear misfortunes
taxing sojourns throughout life
