The Party
I really liked the ideas in this poem by Becky Hemsley which this song is based upon: https://www.reddit.com/r/dementia/comments/13tfncp/afterparty_a_poem_about_grief_and_love_by_becky/
When grief crashed my party
He had all his old friends in tow
Frustration and anger followed
And sat down beside me
They outstayed their welcome
And talked over every other
But left when they saw you show up
And feared your name was
LOVE
Have we met before tonight?
You look familiar in this brighter light
Now that the party’s over
Why did I not see you here before tonight
Why did I not see you here before
This very night
She said
I’ve been waiting for the rest
To tire of you and finally take their leave
I was just dressed as
Dressed as
GRIEF
