Where does this grief come from?

Where does this grief come from?

My heart asked me, 

Where does this grief come from? 

I whispered, 

It comes from the empty walls of this broken house 

It comes from the child that grew up too soon

It comes from the love that never got its chance to bloom

It comes from the heartache that never had the chance to heal

It comes from this desolate heart that sometimes forget how to beat 

It comes from the distanced moon soaking in its own light

It comes from the waves that lost their way somewhere in the sea

It comes from the unsaid words that died somewhere in the throat

It comes from you

From me

It comes from nothing that is everything.
