Grieve in Little Pieces
little pieces
i miss you in pieces -
little pieces at a time
i trust my grief decreases
with each tear that i cry
i know, i cannot feel it
all at once; so i
find it’s easier to deal-
a little piece at a time.
i miss you in pieces -
little pieces at a time
scared you will fade.
like pictures in the light
i hold and carry with me
these thoughts of mine;
and let my heart miss you -
a little piece at a time.

This is really poignant. I love the repetition. Is the poem addressed to a child?

I wrote it after my grandmother passed. She was my first experience with that type of grief. I had no idea that it came and went.
