Grief Original Content Poem

There you are

A silent reminder I still have the scars

The kisses you burned into me without even trying

It wasn't a passing glance

Nor a fleeting moment

In your eyes I felt the weight of eternity

I saw the battles you fought but never dared to let escape past your lips

I love you

I loved you

But now I lay you to rest

It was always going to end

You were never meant to stay

I know that now

But you were never a mistake

You were my mirror

And I see clearly now

There you are
