It comes and goes in waves
Sorrow, grief, and depression
Threatening to drag you down and drown you beneath its waves
Grief especially can be triggered by the most random things and suddenly
You’re no longer next to the shore where you can stand and touch the bottom
You’re swept out into deep waters with waves crashing high
It comes and goes in waves life trying to drown beneath itself
Grief hits like a tsunami sometimes but when it does
It only does based on the love you felt and feel
Because you miss them and wish they were still here
Sorrow tries to drag you down into its depths just as depression does
Trying to drown you beneath their waves and make you less than you are
Making you a shadow of yourself
Grief has no ill intent though
Sorrow and depression however are full of dark intentions
They’ll try to drown you in themselves and either end you or drown you in a sea of apathy
Grief is just the heart healing from loss and trying to come to terms with the loss
