a/n: inspired after reading Anne McCaffrey's Dragon Song.. i think that's what the book was called... pls r/r will do the same for your work.. you know the deal...

G.r.i.e.f

for my living

Or else I must die

Jealousy consumes me

You, gone where I cannot follow

Selfish need urges me

To force you to hold on

The pain, unbearable

Don't leave me alone!

Gluttonous sorrow –

Not for you, but me

You have left me behind

Nothing can bring back

Life to this cold shell

I hold close to my heart
