Memories

by Jasmyn   Jan 4, 2007


Upon a shattered life
i sit in shambles
hearing the preacher
as he rambles
memories like movies
playing in my head
memories ill never live again
now that you're dead.
the coffin lid lays open
displaying you for the world to see
but no one else matters
because you meant the world to me.
the preacher quit talking
distant sobs break through the place
they're closing you in that box
never again will i see your face.
i hear someone yelling "no, no, please don't!"
it's me i hear, i tell them not to take you away
but they don't listen, they won't.
tears stream down my face
soaking into my skin
i know its time to say good-bye now
i know I'll never see you again
but i can't, it's too hard
i don't want to let go.
it's too late now.
I'm left with my memories
playing ever so slow...

    You've used your words very well to paint such a heart-breaking picture for us.

    The last two lines sum it up so perfectly. It seems not quite right to describe the poem about such a horrible event as beautiful, but this poem was.

    Keep up the good work.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. You commented on my poem once upon a time, so I decided to read this poem I take that is about him. Even if it wasn't, it was a powerful poem, and I could feel your loss. Keep up the great work,
