No memories but Grieve lives onj

Author: Geronique Solomons 

How do you grieve someone you never knew, a life taken so early?

The process is very complex and that is why you sit with answer.

Maybe it’s better this way, hence maybe you are better off this way

Cause clearly you had not for to stay.

Echoes in my mind trying to imagine what your voice sounded like.

Just to find myself creating scenarios that were fake.

People spoke about all the encounters with you,

Finding myself maybe this could be true.

I grieve you in so many ways but was easier to put a mask on so others won’t see

Because pretending is much easier and getting much easier the more you do it.

When I used to look at the other kids having a father

Then God must have put me here to be punished harder.

No memories but grief still lives on especially when Luther Vandros comes on.

Reminding me of everything that must have gone wrong.

Life gave me no option to be strong.
