My Right To Mourn

How can I tell my heart
that you have gone away
I want to make things right
But don’t know what to say
I am lonely and sad
I cannot believe you have gone
But others tell me to get over it
They say I must move on
But they don’t know how I feel
They would not know where to start
One minute I was happy
Then my world was ripped apart
Yes I need to mourn
And to do it my own way
To listen to my heart
And not what others say
Yes there will be dark times
Yes I will be sad
It will hurt me for a while
when I remember what we had
But time will heal my heart
Time will ease my sorrow
It may not be today,
It may not be tomorrow
Yes there will be tears
I may scream and shout
I can’t lock the pain away,
I have to let it out
True friends will stick by me
Others may walk away
True friends will hold my hand
and listen to what I have to say
Its my right to mourn
And to learn to deal with grief
Its not what you see on the outside
But the way I fell underneath

John f Connor
