GRIEF


Don't tell me that you understand
Don't tell me that you know.
Don't tell me that I will survive,
How I will surely grow.


Don't tell me this is just a test,
That I am truly blessed,
That I am chosen for this task,
Apart from all the rest.


Don't come at me with answers
That can only come from me,
Don't tell me how my grief will pass
That I will soon be free.


Don't stand in pious judgment
Of the bounds I must untie,
Don't tell me how to suffer,
And don't tell me how to cry.


My life is filled with selfishness,
My pain is all I see,
But I need you, I need your love,
Unconditionally.


Accept me in my ups and downs,
I need someone to share,
Just hold my hand and let me cry,
And say, "My friend, I care."
