GRIEF

A Reminder That I am Human

Art by ELEVEN

I came across this quote

“Grief is just love with no place to go”

That describes my heartache perfectly.

To know that the immense love I hold inside

Has no destination;

Has no home.

I remember when my love had a house to go to.

The house that I thought was a home

Turned out to be a place of temporary comfort,

Yet my heart still yearns to love

And to feel love from

Someone outside of myself.

Now I must force myself to sit still

With my thoughts

With my actions

With my feelings

With my love

Force myself to love my own home again.

Moving in faith

Knowing that eventually …

I’ll wholeheartedly choose to pour that love into myself,

Into those that love me,

And appreciate the process deeply.

With that loving practice

My love will attract a new permanent home to romance

And embrace once again.

But for now,

I grieve.
