Not My Own

Post by anonymous08 »

Need I remind you

It is not my own personal mourning



You fault to expect the howling, open cries of one heart ripped from another

The uselessness of body for any breath other than the ones used to call out to the eternally lost heart

The eyes that see only that which is unwanted

Other souls than the one they seek



These cries, these bones, these hollow black orbs are not mine



My loss is far inferior, and I almost dread to speak of it, yet to say the lost one is lost by me as well



So I hold a silent mind shrouded

To send sympathies from afar

Kept separate by a wall that holds those who truly lost



My darkness is in memorial

The only silence I am allowed

And in solemn stillness I watch the ascent

The wailing that follows

The emptiness



And hold a candle vigilant in my heart.
You couldn't be suicidal if your life depended on it.



there i go again, pretending that i'll fall

don't call the doctors!

they've seen it all before

they'll say just let her crash and burn

she'll learn

the attention just encourages her.
