I’d like to kick grief out
it is not welcome here
in this house of love
grief has overstayed
it’s welcome
in this heart of mine
it is time for grief
to leave
and close the door behind it
I’m going to change the locks
and throw away the spare key
grief is not welcome here
I am reclaiming my space
to live and laugh and love
without grief’s dark veil
don’t get me wrong
you are always welcome here
just not grief
you can stay forever
in the gentle corners of my heart
a river to quench
