Bereavement....

The lose of a life is hard to bear
but the closer that person, oh the despair
feels like a piece of you has been ripped out
nothing to hold onto, but to weep and shout

the questions that linger upon your lips
as upside down your whole life now flips
it's difficult for the ones left behind
you try to gather all memories you can find

there's a great big hole where once love was found
now it's torn away, buried six feet under ground
bereavement is something people go through
a painful journey as you bide adieu

so as the grieving continues to flow
the love that you shared will constantly grow
though the loss of a loved one tears you apart
never fear, they will remain deep in your heart
