Walk with Sorrow

Poem about grief.

Sorrow comes to wake
Pricks a heart dry
Days evaporate
Torment blossoms
Memories carousel
Raw desperation
Masked emotions
Bottled cries
Seeping acid
Pity succumbs
Longings ache
Yesterdays held tight
Empty, numb, halted

Knock at the door
Empathy calls
Carries burden
Soul pours out
Mirrored reflections
Pause penetrates
Naked ambivalence
Courage prevails
New beginnings
Memories softened
Faith nibbles
Heart beats
Devotion shared
