Fairy Tale
Once upon a time,
I died.
And there was no resurrectionl
I died as people do everyday.
They burned my body as
such things happen.
And I wish I could say
that you never forgot me
you left my side of the mattress
hallowed. But you didn't
and such things happen.
But if I were flesh once more,
I would embrace you
and shed all the tears you didn't.
But the problem, you see,
is that I'm flesh no longer.
