Grief

Mariah Lampley

The feeling of the wind on my face
Ice cold like a mid-winter’s night
Friday nights seem to have lost their appeal

The feeling of the sun on my skin
Warm like a toasty June afternoon
Sundays were always your favorite

Dark days seem to be farther away
A warm drive through your town
The scent of summer all around me

Winter is closing in
I can’t feel you here
Alone, like a bottle adrift at sea

I wish you could find me
I wish I could find you
Grief
