Grief is a Funny Diet
Grief is a funny diet.

One minute you're eating with family and the next you're not eating and alone.

Tears replace beers and the years wear on your face. Lines marked on cheeks from where food used to go.

"You look great" they say as you wear over-sized clothes. Gaunt you drink a coffee because that will get you through.

Grief is a funny diet because it is what's eating you.
