"Grieving in Silence"

For the past several weeks,
I've been grieving in silence.
Lost one of my family/friends
To domestic violence.

And though it pains me,
That you're gone away.
I'll be thinking about you--
Every step of the way.

"Forget Me Not"

Forget me not,

But if you do--

Always remember that,

I love(d) you.

"Before 25"

You didn't see 25--

Before you died.

Your friends, your family,

Everyone cried.

"A Hole I Can't Fill"

There's a hole I can't fill--

And it's so crazy deep.

And the more I try to explore it--

The more that I weep.

There's a hole I can't fill--

No matter how hard I try.

And the more I reach for it--

The more that I cry.

There's a hole I can't fill--

And it's tearing me apart.

The more I try to explore it--

The more it breaks my heart.

"Murder-Suicide"

A murder-suicide,

That is how you died.

A murder-suicide,

We were told to hide.

"It Hurts"

It hurts,
But I know that every scar has a place.
It hurts,
But I know that every scar has a face.

It hurts,
But I know that everyone makes mistakes.
It hurts,
But I know that everyone has tough breaks.

It hurts,
But I know that every heart has been damaged.
It hurts,
But I know that we are strong enough to manage.
