"They call me dead"
"I don’t know why they call me dead,
Although inside I bleed.
They took me in a coffin,
Smiling as if they won something,
Even as they relished my suffocation.
They placed roses on my body,
Talking of how foolish I was,
How useless I was to this world.
'It’s good he died; now the burden is less.'
In the silence of my final rest,
Their laughter echoes cruelly, stark and cold.
They dance upon my grave, unburdened,
While I lie forgotten, my story untold.
Alone in the darkness, I drift through dreams,
Invisible to those who once knew my name.
Their voices haunt the void where my soul weeps,
A mournful dirge in a world gone lame.
No longer part of their waking lives,
I am but a shadow cast by their disdain.
They speak of relief, as if my departure
Erased their discomfort, their hidden pain.
In this endless night, I cry silent tears,
A ghost adrift in their cruel apathy.
My essence lingers, unacknowledged,
In the emptiness where I once sought to be.
Oh, how I yearn for one last embrace,
A moment of understanding, a spark of grace.
But I am lost to their uncaring eyes,
A sorrowful whisper beneath the skies.
As earthworms feast upon my rotting flesh,
Insects crawl where warmth once dwelled,
My body, now a banquet for decay,
While my spirit, trapped, still mourns and swells.
In death, I find no peace, no end to my pain,
My heart’s cry echoes through the soil,
An agonized lament in the damp, dark vein,
A betrayal of trust, a love turned to spoil.
Friendships I thought eternal, now shattered and frail,
Love that once held me close now turned to dust.
In their eyes, I was a burden to veil,
Yet my essence lingers, though my form is thrust.
The earth consumes, but my sorrow endures,
My spirit weeps in the shadows of decay,
A testament to love betrayed and pure,
Still alive in the circle of life’s dismay.
Let the roses wither, let the silence grow,
For in their relief, my spirit still cries.
I am no more to them, I am no more to this world,
But I am still alive in the circle of life,
Although inside I bleed, yet my sadness remains,
An echo of anguish in the vast, empty plains."
'It’s good he died; now the burden is less.'
