too much in the grief for my heart / by Ellen Sorensen

too much is the grief for my heart 

i loved him, i loved her

she left, he passed on

i questioned my strength to continue 

 

"if anyone else leaves me, i will shatter," i said. 

"it's too much to bear, this unrelenting sadness."

six deaths in six months

burying him, falling out with her

 

the sadness never leaves

it only gets fewer and farther between

with time, i'm comforted by my tears

because it means i cared with all my heart

 

and to have your heart hurt 

means your heart fully loved

time will show you it's grace

and you will love again
