Grief The Price Of Love 💔

entry picture

Grief is the price we pay for love
Sometimes I can't even breathe
Utter confusion what to believe
A future that I just can't conceive
Grief is the price we pay for love
Groundhog day one step at a time
Living a delusion no reason or rhyme
No direction  a mountain to climb

Grief is the price we pay for love
What happened to my beautiful life
Replaced by torment and strife 
The pain it cuts deep like a knife 
Grief is the price we pay for love
You were here today gone tomorrow 
Joy gave way to an eternal sorrow
Time If only I could beg steal or borrow

Grief is the price we pay for love
Photographs and memories they remain
My life will never be the same 
A feeling that I struggle to explain
Grief is the price we pay for love
Where you once sat an empty chair
A house that's not a home so there
Sometimes it is just to much to bear

Grief is the price we pay for love
Now you reside in the heavens above
To join you one day I dream of
Grief is the price we pay for love
