I’ve heard that Grief is Love that Remains. {Poem}

{*Did you know you can write on Elephant? Here’s how—big changes: How to Write & Make Money or at least Be of Benefit on Elephant. ~ Waylon}

I have heard

that grief

is love still alive, yet unrealized.

Love that remains

on a different plane.

~

It’s a concept

that feels right

in one’s mind…

Yet, in reality,

it’s heavy and

bends your shoulders with a weight

you yearn to shrug.

~

When love is one-sided,

and you sometimes possess enough

for the both of you

because you had to.

Without that love,

too big for one heart…

there wouldn’t have been any at all.

~

Is that grief?

When it all goes away?

Or is it disbelief…

that you gave

all of your soul

to the wrong person?

~

A person who couldn’t carry any of it.
