Notes About The Poem

- I Died a Little Inside - Sad Bluebell Story -

A windswept bluebell I am
even though the sun is high in the sky
The wind ruffled the hair
my skin would slowly freeze like mosaic
Want to paint the picture with beautiful thoughts
but difficult to find the rainbow


Tears, so many tears
my heart ripped apart
The pain took a different form
Your sobbing lungs needed a new life


Lung cancer with spread to the lymphs
You were so weak, like a bluebell in the wind
Suddenly it is not a matter of course to get old anymore
Death did not come abruptly or surprisingly
But it was quite overwhelming when it became a reality


Tears, so many tears
my heart ripped apart
I died a little inside
although I will always carry you in my heart


The blue lights are gone now
I have chosen a place near the coast
You loved this place
No exhaust smell or busy people
In the natural cycle your ashes will be spread in the wind


While the birds flying towards the horizon
Nothing can fill the emptiness I feel
From life to death, the road is so short
Rest in peace, I loved you dearly


Tears, so many tears
my heart ripped apart
A simple bluebell is left alone
The clock chimes inaudibly

Patrick Mcginn July 16, 2019 at 12:15 PM I felt this on a deeply personal level, as I have felt windswept by the passing of a loved one. I think that’s why this poem is so relatable, it’s something that many of us have felt...albeit, in our own ways. Simply beautiful...
