Grief is the Name of This Game

Deep sorrow is the definition of grief

but what I feel cannot be determined by a textbook definition

all the air you breathe suddenly gone

and your heart starts to beat out of your chest

because in that moment it seems like it’ll never end

it seems like no one will ever understand 

when you can’t eat or sleep not because you don’t want to

but because you physically cannot
