Grieving Time

Back to work 

    three days later

Back to the store

    one week later

Back to 'reality'

    one month later

Back to sobbing

    one hour later

Back to broken

    no time at all

Grieving takes its own time

And steals yours when it's not satisfied

It grinds you up and spits you out

And leaves scars that time can't heal

This is how long grieving takes,

How long it takes to say goodbye;

The rest of time.
