Accounting for Grief

No one tells you how to account for grief
It's like they forget anything bad happens in this world
That lose is a every day occurance
Then when it happens, it's as sudden as a slap on the face
A punch in the gut.
You fall crippled to the ground.
Try as you will to learn how you survived that grief
Sooner or later though you will forget grief is a part of this world
You neglect to prepare yourself and warn others
Until the sudden gut wrenching life changing event happens
A grandpa, a uncle, a dog, then a cat
It certainly didn't stop at that
A mouse, a fish, a snake, some nutes, a frog, a hamster, another cat then a dog and for then was worst of all a baby.
Death and lose grip our world like cold icy fingers around a blooming flower, burning the edges and scaring it permanently.
There after you built a silent wall around your heart to protect it against the icy claws of a frozen story
You remember every day lose is natural and you repeat it over and over like some Bible verse that's stuck in your head
Distance is your friend in all new relationships you can manage
It helps
It works
Until someone or something works it's way between the stones surrounding your heart and touches the bleeding organ so in need of bonds it desperately latches onto it
My it was Amy Elizabeth Eli.
And that it broke my heart and strengthened my walls with the shattered remains of a stone heart.
