I weep alone


I am alone
Not wanting anyone to see
The tears falling from my eyes
The pain in my heart


You have gone
Never to return
I will miss you
I will weep for you

But
I will weep alone
In silence
Wrapped up in my grief.
(Inspired by Terry Irwin the Widow of Steve 'the croc hunter' Irwin in her interview shortly after his death)

loneliness is a hard thing to cope with especially if it is in grief.
no one can know the pain within.
good poem and photograph connects.

I am not really sad, I just find it esier to write when I am!

Floots:
:) I agree totally about grief being lonely.

Thank you, wasn't sure about the photo - but I wanted to post one as I haven't for ages

Thank you for stopping by again
I think everyone felt sadness when they heard the news.
I wrote the poem and only just decided to blog it..
