Forever Is Not Forever
Deaths are not scary,
the sufferings of the loved ones are
their efforts to breathe is,
the pain of letting them go,
the hurt and ache of living after them,
and without them
Deaths are not scary,
those memories are,
empty hands that can never feel their loved ones,
eyes which are tired of imaging them,
and those smell,
Loneliness is scary,
those awaiting eyes,
unfelt touch,
those which are left behind,
is scary
and
you leave a crack, a hurt
i don't know how to fill
how to overcome
how not to miss you
when i still hear your voices
i still see your face every time
even there is stillness, silence
around me
darkness, and no light
i don't know how to laugh
without you
my hands are down
my heart feels no warmth
i haven't listened my voice
for days,
they talked about "once"
and now i know
what they meant
to ask someone to come back
for once
even you know they can't
