GRIEF Poem: A Song for Lawrence, by Liz Cunningham

a name i never spoke
never called to, never truly knew
but i sing to you
as you sang to me,
i move towards you
as you move back

how do we please
a vengeful god
how do we play a song
that has no melody
and no words
just silent gasps

what do i say to you
when you never listen
what do i mean
when i was you
and you were me
little movements of love

how do you keep going
when the person you thought
would always be there,
isn’t?
