SWALLOWED BY PAIN

I have long been swallowed by pain. My face has been sinking in tears pouring like rain. My walls hear more cries more than anyone My pillow wipes my tears when I have no one I have always taken death slightly until it came home Since that day, like a lost puppy I began to roam. I have always felt sorry for people losing their relatives Not knowing one day they’ll feel sorry for me in all perspectives The world’s changed now that you’re gone I have relatives but it stills feels like I’m alone. My heart shattered into pieces that day, Hence I still remember it like it was yesterday. I had to keep it together because I’m the first daughter. To hide tears I kept on pouring my face with water. I’ve been hiding the pain hoping it’ll numb away soon I’ve praying staring at the ever beautiful moon, Hoping one day you’ll wake up me from this dream. Hug me tight and tell me that it was all a meme. Sometimes I wonder how things would’ve been if you were here. All your stories, your voice I just wish to hear. I still stare at the pictures in my wall. Every night I still cry, however I am grateful for all. You always had my back when you were alive And I know you will not stop, now that you’re unalive. Your second fruit? don’t worry she’s my daughter now As long as I’m still here, she’ll make it and you know how.
