Wrap around sorrow

lossgriefnaturemusicmemorytime

Wrap around sorrow

Bathe in its waters

Heavy with salt

A dead sea

Destination

For the last drop

Float away

This is no life

Lachrymose thinking

Lonesome drinking

A foolish repast

Feeding remorse

With the fire in your belly

Too wild to be contained

There is too much anger

In regret

Better yet

Withhold

Until you find a self

In love and forgiveness

Before the losing

Is all you have left

To remember.
