Grief

(album: A Crisis Of Faith At The Death Of A Loved One - 2023)

Grief's like love's lonely brother
It stretches your heart like a rubber band
Sweet but not sweet like sugar
It's bitter and tart and gritty like sand
It's itchy and hot a flickering candle
Constantly giving me all I can handle
Til I can't describe how it saturates

Oh, I got so much love
But I got so much pain
Isn't that all grief's supposed to be anyway

I'm sleeping sounder than ever
Life moves ahead and I'm missing him less
Until the concept of forever enters my head and I'm back at his bed
Side and he's dying all over again
I'm goodbying all over again
And I can't describe how it saturates

Oh, I got so much love
But I got so much pain
Isn't that all grief's supposed to be anyway

I know now it's grief what I've been feeling
I'm quite sure that you're feeling it too
Sitting down to talk can be revealing
So instead I wrote this song for you
