There is no cure for grief

They say time gives relief

I take two steps forward

Then it’s three steps backward

Then a few more ahead

Cry myself to sleep in bed

The sun shines, been so long

Then I hear our song

Let go of the sadness

Succumb to the madness

Memories that cause me pain

Some put a smile on my face

And I yell and I scream

Truths, lies, all I believe

They say I’ll be okay

I tell them not today

Happy moments are the worst

I want to share with you first

It’s a vicious cycle

Survival and denial

Addition and subtraction

Relapse and remission
