Dear Gravestone

by Romancing the Darker Side   Apr 13, 2007


Dearest Gravestone,
I write you well
As I now reside
In the hubs of Hell

Include for me
A passing note
Of pain and hatred
That I calmly wrote

Inscribe a line
Upon your face
Take away their breath
Their strength, their grace

Six words
Carved into your side
Make them meaningful
Without adding much pride

Cover my casket
When it starts to rain
Dear Gravestone, please wear,
"She lived her life in pain"

    Simple words and short choppy flow go nicely together as it is proved in this poem... my only suggestion is in this line "Without adding much pride" when you read it, it seems like it has too many syllabels, maybe you could take out the word "adding" :D
