Don'T Cry I Love You

Trying to fill the void,
makeup all destroyed,
standing in your pretty dress,
hair all crazy and a mess.

Flowers are everywhere,
go over and take a chair,
watch the people walking by,
no one notices as you cry.

All here for the same reason,
it's like the changing of the seasons,
don't worry about me I am fine,
maybe you need a glass of wine.

All the decorations oh so fancy,
being here was never chancy,
flowers, music, and the candles,
hope it wasn't too hard to handle.

I loved you til the end,
I held you close my dearest friend,
now it's time to put me in the ground,
you were my best treasure ever found.

Very interesting the way you ended. It's show that someone was cherished until your dying day. The flow and rhyme make the poem flow. Lovingly, Dane

Aw how sad, I love you. You are such a wonderful person, love you. Love Dreary Leerie, and I would be most dreary if I ever lost you. We'll have to go out Thelma & Loise style......
