Analysis of Grief after Keith
Every night when the world is asleep...
I slip beneath,
My sea of grief.
Left here alone in my tears to drown,
Piece by piece, my world is crumbling down.
Every night, the shadows of sadness start,
No moon, only an aching heart.
I'm falling apart at the seams,
Chaotic silence of my screams.

About this poem
I wrote this poem to express how I was feeling through my grief of my brother who recently passed on 5/12/22. As it hits me harder every night when the world is asleep and my heart is breaking allover again.
