Understand that my loss

has brought me to my knees

I need you to be

gentle with me please

It is difficult to

even get out of bed

Let alone deal with

What is going on in my head.

My heart has never

known such pain

and I will not

ever be the same.

Please, be gentle

I am grieving

It takes all I have

just to keep breathing.
