blinking back the tears
i slip down
watching the sun
hit the stone
glitter and sparkling
as i fight the pain
wet grass beneath me
blue sky's above
i watch and lose
as my tears stream
a sob in my throat
as i bow my head
the curtain of hair
my only defences
from prying eyes
in their own pain
slowly i lay
the rose down
on the hump
of fresh dirt
gently stroking
the petals
velvet soft
like your skin
"i love you
so much "
my whispered
sob fills the air
fingers trembling
my vision blurred
a life cut so short
i trace the words
a man of honor
a man loved
your name and dates
meant to explain a life
another sob
fresh wave of tears
pain slicing
under my skin
"i'll be with u
soon my love"
the affect of the pills
finally hitting
Honorable mention
