The Bright Side Of Mourning.

by Teria   Jul 29, 2007


Dreams sway from side to side,
wiping the tears you've most recently cried.
As moments pass by without notice,
and you lay beside the person at rest.

No one can see your deepest insides,
nor the fears that you've hidden beside,
beside the ruins of what once was,
not knowing why or how just because.

You find yourself upon a pile of sand,
drifting into another wonderland.
You've gotten lost within this world before,
but never have you wanted more.

The thoughts of the dead, they lingered behind..
The darkest nights of your defiled mind.
You've taken advantage of what you had,
and lost everything under the sun that made you mad.

And, though a person can only be pushed so far..
I think you've pushed him pass the millionth bar.
And as he lies at rest tonight, you realize that you're learning
the bright side of mourning.

    To be honest, I didn't fully understand "the bright side of mourning", and I felt quite miserable. Though you presented fine points throughout. If you have time, will you please explain this to me through PM? I'd appreciate it, and would return to give you a fine review, most likely.

    The flow was a bit off towards the end, but that last stanza nailed it. 5/5 m'dear.
