GRIEF Poem: Goodnight Coffin, by Alshaad Kara

Grief is the greatest melody
Humanity was bestowed upon
Simply because suffering
Of someone’s absence
Is the greatest pain
Anyone will tend to avoid
But will silent void themselves in.

Every ending starts with death,
But catapults into someone else’s
To a broken-hearted heartbreak
Which knows no boundaries
Falling into a universal abode.

Goodbyes are bid only once,
Sometimes missed, ignored, avoided
But a last farewell is envious
Because no matter how it pains,
One shall always think of that moment,

A memory that sticks to the heart
And sinks to the mind.
