grief's slow tax on love, billed in installments you never agreed to pay.

means Deep distress or sadness caused by loss, disappointment, or suffering.

from From Old English 'sorg' (grief, care, anxiety), with cousins across the Germanic familyOld High German 'sorga,' Old Norse 'sorg.' Though it sits comfortably beside 'sorry,' the two have separate roots; their resemblance is a quiet coincidence that history later blurred. The deeper origins trace to a Proto-Germanic word for care and worry, the kind of ache that won't let the mind rest.
