Click hereA rose lay dying,
Petals fell one and one and one.
Scattered, wind blown and random.
Upon fresh turned earth.
Bitter silence, cold, indifferent,
Wrapped around my shoulders.
A quiet companion
I held close.
Friends with strange faces,
Smile sadly with inadequate words.
Doled out cliches’ fallen
Upon ears that hear only your forgotten voice.
Memories of years revisited
Dusted off and polished.
Lost days too soon replaced with
Life that carries on and on.

LeBrozover 17 years agoReminds me of a wake where people talk and say so little;
They want to be seen as so caring
Yet often haven't got a clue of whom they're talking.
