The Grim Reaper

is widowhood.

It robs you of who you are,
what you want to be,
your dreams,
your memories,
sleep,
comfort,
safety,
security,
stability,
love,
peace.

It robs you of 
innocence,
hope,
control,
optimism,
organization,
patience,
and
true love.

It steals
who you are,
how you see,
how you feel,
the real you is barely surviving 
your harsh reality.

Grief steals your
days,
hours,
months,
and years 
with tears,
avoidance,
depression, 
and sleep.

Death does not just snuff out one life,
it snuffs out two.
