Dead Timeline
DEAD TIMELINE
It was a facebook notification
It has always been a facebook notification
Notifying me of most of my friends birthdays anniversary
Just as always; all I do is post birthday wishes on my timelines.
On a busy Saturday morning of 11th may 2014
Amidst weekend chores; I received a facebook notification in my phone
Like normal; I picked up my phone to read the lingering message
Guess what? It was about Princess Ruphina’s birthday.
Without doubt; it just a normal birthday birthday notification
But still with doubt; do the dead celebrate birthdays?
Amidst possibilities; could the sun ever shine at night?
Amidst wishes; can death days reverse back to birthdays?
In a moment, years came strolling down in a day
Memories surging so fast like fast flowing spring
The long forgotten yesterdays looked like it was today
I can still picture your smiling face like you are still here
It’s painful you can’t picture my angry face since you are not here
Middle finger to death; happy birthday my princess
Your soul shall forever rest in peace Rupina.
