Grief tastes likes the salty sea
Bites like a salty dog and screams like a spoiled child
It feels like an over enthusiastic aunt cuddling you so tight you can’t breathe
It smells like warm salty blankets and looks like a broken toy
Makes you feel alone in the world and blinds you with abstract pictures through a window in a heavy rainstorm
Grief pains your heart and gives you cramp and a snotty nose and a lump in your throat
Grief sedates you as you cry yourself to sleep
That’s what grief is
