Funeral

by xene - Not entered

Two-and-twenty days ago,
By your side stood I
Shrouded in the garbs of grief
Yet every cheek was dry
In my hands were flowers
To line the hole you'd dwell
In my hands were flowers
To send you off to hell
I watched you lowered into the earth
I listened to each hymn
I thought about the bugs you'd feed
And hoped they would be green

You promised me forever.

Yet,
With a bloody knife
You slashed into your promise
And watched as every drop of life
Ebbed out onto the rug
No goodbye kiss
No goodbye hug
No anything at all

Not anything at all

Reason for writing:

    Nothing like this happened to me....I'm only 16!This was inspired by a book i read.
