The Feeling of Grief 

by Ariana Toribio

10 years gone, an ache remains 

a photo pinned upon the wall

barely leached by 10 years of rains 

Shadows lurk between the grains 

of color, where shadows fall, 

10 years gone, an ache remains 

My heart discolored by pain, 

is seemingly about to call,

barely leached by 10 years of rains

Memories haunt, as ghost of pains 

long gone, through rooms and halls 

10 years gone, an ache remains 

Weak and weary, bowed by blains 

my frame, memories stall

barely leached by 10 years of rains 

Love had lived in its foolish reign,

since love stood but barely talk 

10 years gone, an ache remains
