Poem
Walking around the graveyard Untaggling his hands from the pocket in his jacket its clear in his head that he's screaming for something that something is missing within his heart Taking off his hat as he sits it on her grave Pulling out a piece of paper The death certificate that her name was signed on a tear falling from his cheek he reaches down to pick up the flower he laid there before crumples at his touch sitting down the piece of paper he asked her how can i love? when the one i want is not here? tears fall from his eyes unto the paper he lights a candle sits it by her tombstone He lays down beside her listening to the wind hoping to hear her voice something he longed for something that he was missing he falls asleep holding the stem of the rose that crumpled before The pedals fly away with the wind and the flame of the candle burns out the rain starts to fall He lays with his eyes closed He goes back in time The rose pedals fall back unto the stem The paper flies back into his pocket He walks back into town Back into the house he was at before Back at her funeral to the hospital they were at When they found out she had cancer To the church where they got married To the time when he asked her to marry him Finally to the place where they met There story replays again in his mind he lays cold on the ground beside her The wind dies down and the candle starts burning again
