Hello, my name is grief

Hello my name is grief.
You may have heard of me.
I have many faces and stages,
But soon enough you will see.

I'll cause you sorrow,
I'll cause you pain.
Leaving you breathless,
And unable to explain.

At first you will deny,
Try hard not to cry.
For my name, you will defy.
Cuz my name is grief, I'm the bad guy.

I'll make you angry,
I'll make you weep.
Make it hard to get out of bed,
Even harder to go to sleep.

I'll come and go as I please.
I'll taunt and I'll tease.
As soon as the hurt starts to ease,
That's when I'll bring you to your knees.

I'll make you feel shame.
Pointing fingers at someone to blame.
And nothing will ever be the same,
Once you've known my name.

It won't matter how much you cry.
Or how many days pass by.
My presence will only intensify.

I am not a disorder,
Nor a disease.
There is no order,
I give no guarantees.

One things for certain,
I am here to stay.
I may wander for awhile,
But I'll never go away.

Because my name is grief,
And you may despise.
But truthfully I am love
Trapped in a disguise.
