A day so helpless

Regrets they say are better left behind,
Prayers to a god enshrined,
I don't believe in it anymore,

This darkness gripping the core,

A soul that was cracked,

With that premature goodbye,

 

I can't see you anymore,

But what was the reason for,

The closing of this door,

Memories existing in a closed drawer,

 

Every day your body decays,

My mind and strength frays,

reality slips,

Another of many nightmarish trips,

To the realm of yesterday,

Things I long to have the chance again to say,

The birth of christ marks the day of the buried,

A day my emotions are varied,

 

Feeling weary,

This month eyes grow teary,

Remembrance of a casket,

Even now in sadness I can't mask it,

It only gets worse,

And though I know it isn't a curse,

It began the day I saw the hearse,

 

If only I could keep you,

But that could never be true,

Skies of grey not blue,

Envelope my world,

Defenseless laying curled,

 

It kills me to see your ghost,

A spectral party you're the host,

Awaiting one the other side,

From this pain I cannot hide,

Engraved memories,

May you rest at ease...

 

M.H.C, R.I.P.

    Thank you for entering my contest.

    There's some good word usage here, and I feel as if it was very hard to write...maybe its just the nearly choppy way it was written, which is fine in cases like these, because its easier for the reader to feel the confusion and such that's experienced - death is never smooth. In my opinon.

    The last 2 stanzas were wonderful, specifically the line "A spectral party you're the host". An interesting way to say it.
