Love Poem: Loss and Grief

Loss and Grief

I feel a sense of loss
Why do I feel this way?
Clinging to dirt and dross
This loss I grieve each day

It's now all in the past
The past that hurts so much
A friendship that did not last
Memories - I dare not touch

Yes, my heart has been wrung
By hands that hurt as well
Hurts I breathe in my lungs
My voice - a chimeless bell

Now no anger remains
Only tears and regrets
Here I sit; where it rains
Where rest and sorrow meet

Does she hate me till now?
Am I her enemy?
Now why do I allow
Such thoughts to beset me?

In grief, God comforts me
In turmoil, He gives rest
He is helping me see
In sorrow, I'm still blessed
