A lifeless smile
A single clear tear
Clicks
Of burning brown flames
Surrounded by pumpkins
And witches
No last HUG
No last GOOD-BYE
Just one call
And a sudden cry
Trapped in hallo’s eve
Mystery
Maybe the curse of the mummy
Or maybe
A vampire got hungry
Sweet smell of perfume
Gone
Forever
Carrying the spirit of
Halloween
With a wrinkled face
And my swollen heart
They lowered the
Cream coffin
I was afraid to let go
Couldn’t cry for my
Lifeless grandma
NO more though
NO more “good-byes”
Or “hellos”
As I finally chose to
Let
Go
