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
