Memories Part One

The gloomy miserable day
the atmosphere dark and gray,
The clouds looming overhead
looking at your lonely deathbed,
Hoping to see your chest fall and rise
or to see you sit up and say it's all lies,
Praying to see your eyes open once more
but when they didn't my heart tore,
Not wanting to take my eyes off you
just in case my hopes came true,
my legs started to feel weak
as I kissed you on your cold cheek,
Feeling the raindrops slide down my face
seeing them splash on your smooth case,
As you were lowered into the unforgiving ground
all the memories around
took me to the ground

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
