You crept up behind me
Caught me unawares
Slipped into that moment
Like you really didn’t care
I tried so hard not to listen
Not let those thoughts seep in
I bit my bottom lip so hard
And tried to drown out your din
Round and round and round
You went
Until my emotions were
All spent
Then I found the release valve
And opened it right up
The tears streamed down by cheeks
In my throat there was a lump
Grief you move silently
But are never far away
Reminding us of those we miss
Every single day
