Grief stood outside my door, her presence growing harder to ignore.
For I had seen her out there before, unsure of what I was waiting for.
Eventually, I let her in.
She softly said, "darling, where do I begin?"
Not sure how long this meeting would last,
we sat and talked about the past.
And with that being said,
tears were surely shed.
But she gently held my hand,
and suddenly, each feeling became easier to understand.
While time no longer seemed to exist,
"will you stay longer?" I insist.
Silly me, not to have invited you in before-
now I place a "welcome, grief" mat at my door.
