Grief

Grief
.
Don't ever leave me, he told her
And six months later he died
For years she swam before she
Drowned in all the tears she cried
.
It hardly seemed worth living to
Go on without him anymore
To never hear the key turning
The lock when he came in the door
.
Colors no longer existed for her
And she really heard no sound
If there was not his voice to hear
What mattered if no noise was found
.
She learned to cook for only one
If ever she bothered to cook
Not often she fixed her face anymore
For it was rare in a mirror she looked
.
Some just failed to understand
Or perhaps they didn't recognize
The depths of depression that's consuming
When grief overrides one's life
.
The tell tale signs of isolation
When one is so abruptly left all alone
And the heart is broken beyond repair
The love of one's life is gone
.
For one day when neighbors checked
Because newspapers piled up on the lawn
Mail overflowed in the mailbox there
They found she too was gone.
