"Grieving Pie" by Rachael Williamson

"Grieving Pie" by Rachael Williamson


I never knew what pure grief meant 

Until your passing

If words were enough to ease this pain,

I would write and keep writing until my ink runs dry

I would talk and keep talking until my voice loses its strength


When your blood poured out, mine did too

When you left, a part of me did too

I grieved you until Sickness got a hold of me

And Recovery stood by my door with a sad face


You are my blood, my Pie

‘cause you are ever present within me

For in silence, pain calls out to me

To break my heart all over and again


Now when I smile, it feels like make believe

As without you here, everyday seems blue

Countlessly has my grief become mourning

With my fragile heart, broken

As your life was shortened at dawn

Leaving memories of you trapped

As a constant reminder
