Everything reminds me of you.
Something you bought me or a scent of perfume.
The reflection in the mirror.
A song that I sing to.
Words that I speak and phrases I use.
Everything just reminds me of you.
Places I go to that we adventured together.
Movies I watch that we enjoyed with each other.
I know that my brother and sisters hurt too,
Because everything and anyth...

Death grief grieving hurt missing someone mother father remebrance
by Guinevere Heron
Once more I sit, completely alone,
In a place that I cannot call my home.
Small and vulnerable is all that I feel,
Waiting for my heart to heal.
My spirit has been locked away,
Waiting to escape on a 'stronger day'.
Right now I just hide inside my cave,
Hoping for my soul to save.
Fingernails have long been destroyed,
From the times I get lost in this void.
Hair un...

Depression mental health mental illness medication manic depression

I am scared I will forget you.
Forget your voice.
Forget your face.
Forget your smell.
Forget each moment.
I walk on with my heart lodged in my throat. Wondering when it will make me choke.
But how can I choke on a broken heart?
It's been in pieces since we have been apart.

Death loss bereavement parents love heartbreak forgetting
by Guinevere Heron
Just wait with me. Hold my hand? Jump the waves that reach the sand.
They push me over when I stand alone, I'm not sure I am strong enough on my own.
When you are here, life isn't so dark and it's a lot less lonely with the warmth of your heart.
Can you jump these waves with me a little while longer?
They're easier to stand up against when together we're stronger.

Don't tell me you're there for me when you're not.
Don't tell me you care for me and leave me to rot.
Don't tell me you're kind and think only of your self.
You're not who you claim when you damage my minds health.
Do not say you understand but then dismiss me completely.
How can you do this when I'm hurting so deeply?
Do not pretend to be the caring person you say you are.

liar Lies pain unhelpful words
by Guinevere Heron
Do you grieve in heaven?
Do you feel hollow too?
Do you feel like something's missing?
Like our incompletion without you.
Goodbyes were not granted to us,
Does this upset you too?
Does grief hit you by surprise?
An oppression you never knew?
Or is Olympus free of mourning?
And you have no suffering heart?
Will we meet in the city of immortals,
Will it feel like we've been apart?
Tell m...

sudden death parent grief heaven heartbreak bereavement
by Guinevere Heron
Where are you Mumma?
Your coffee is getting cold.
You have missed out on so much.
There are many stories to be told.
Where are you Mumma?
Your coffee is getting colder.
Time has just flown by.
My children are growing older.
Where are you Mumma?
Making coffee is harder as I am so weak.
My body is slower and my bones do creak.
Where are you Mumma...

Mothers Love griefstricken grief heartbroken mum growing old death bereavement
by Guinevere Heron
Why must you? If I could just understand the reasons for your soul-reaping hand.
Who decided the time was up? Or that we must endure this grief? Tell me, Death- Do you enjoy your role as loves thief?
You broke my heart into pieces a few times before and now you've done it once more.
I'm not sure I can forgive you for such dark spite because you've taken my world and turned out its ligh...
