You Grieve On Your Own

Others may sympathize with you at your great loss But you on your own have to carry grief's cross Of one precious and dear to you by life's Reaper you have been denied But words of sympathy cannot bring back to you your dear friend who has died People in their words of condolence to you understanding and kind But the burden of grief weighs heavily on the mind And few wish to know of you when you are mentally down For few wish to know of a sad one of the town Grief is a thing in their lives that many of have known And despite support from friends and family you must grieve on your own And though sad memories of your loss till death with you will stay For grief time is the greatest healer as the wise one does say You are one of many who of grief who has known And despite the kind words of others you grieve on your own.
