Grief

Grief truly is this unexpressed love that no longer has an outlet. It's this flow of adoring energy that gets stopped up somewhere alongside that lump in your throat; you know, the one that triggers your tears.

But I must be stronger than that. 

Pushes the tears away.

But I can't let them see me cry right now. 

Swallows back the sobs.

It wasn't a choice I was in control over. 

Smiles softly to those at my side.

Stopped up love is grief. Stopped up grief is a killer.
