Grief for me is a flame inside of my body that never truly goes out

There are times where it goes dim

But it always comes back full force

A memory comes flashing in my head and all of a sudden that memory becomes gasoline and that small flame becomes a house fire

Out of control

Destroying _everything it touches _

It becomes all you can see

All you can feel

This heat inside of your body that eats you up inside

Never letting you escape from its flames

The problem with fire is that sometimes it can be comforting

And grief is no different

It becomes a home you can’t walk away from

A warmth you don’t want to leave no matter how bad it burns you

Because this pain is all you have left of your person

Grief is a flame inside of my body

A never ending battle in my mind

A fire that will never truly die out
