Death

Arms are wrapped tight like chains
Around my body
A shoulder muffles my cries
I approach the box
Like a mouse to a trap, warily
I peer inside
Your body lies there
Cold like stone
I cup my hand over my mouth
Blocking a scream
Memories clutter my head
Like books on a shelf
I retrace our years together
The day we met until today
Conversations replay
Like a record on repeat
But now there are no more smiles
No more laughs
My only emotion is shown
By the tears that fill my eyes
Like a river they fall
Down my cheeks and to the floor
Where like a dehydrated man
The carpet eagerly swallows them
I didn’t think that this day would come
But like others before you
Death came and took you away.
