Troy you seem so deep in thought
a smile not to be seen,
as sadness on your face is caught
and surely not serene.
There's pain I see etched in your eyes
feelings of disbelief,
thoughts that you cannot disguise
this suffering of grief.
Discovered lies or loved one lost
it's breaking you apart
and now each day you pay the cost
not knowing where to start.
A ship without its steering
life seems to have lost its pivot,
the future you are fearing
a ship of rusted rivets.
In shock right now, what do you do
it's grieving that you need,
so take your time and work it through
for until then life won't proceed.

Life is what we experience and each day a new dawning yet we do carry sorrow and pain of yesterday. We must allow ourself time to work through our hurts Words of wisdom you have penned and I do feel comfort from reading your words. Hope it carries through to where it is most needed.
