You Find Me
Just when I think I’m hidden, and I’m feeling some relief, you step out of the shadows. How do you find me, grief?
When I’m not focused on the loss of what is now gone,
when my heart isn’t heavy, when I’m trying to move on,
you emerge out of nowhere with no warning or sign
to remind me things have changed and all is not fine.
You show up unannounced when the last thing I need is you. How I wish you’d stay away. How I wish you would die, too.
If you’d just grant me more time in between bouts of sorrow. At least give me this day, and then maybe tomorrow
before you restart my tears when they’ve finally paused, and prevent me from healing the wounds death has caused.
Any moments of tranquility are limited and brief.
No matter where I try to run, you always find me, grief.
