My journey to the mountain
The grief itself creeps in the depths of my heart,
As it prepares to devour me alive
All the memories, flash in front of my eyes like lightning-fast, but deadly.
All I can remember is me joyously laughing my lungs out one day,
And me crying out my eyes the next,
when death knocked on the doors of all my joy, happiness and comfort,
