Your Grave
Of all the time we laughed
Was that not enough?
We loved together, cried together
I knew you were the one
You said you’d never leave me
I gave you all my trust
You held my heart so deeply
For you were the one I loved
The day I learned the truth
The love I fed to you
Came pouring out in streams
Rain sliding down a roof
I gave you everything
You couldn’t keep it true
You stabbed me in the back while smiling at my shoes
I know it’s not your fault
And I finally feel better
Do you love me still?
Yes, I know you do
And a small part of me will always belong to you
Yours to hold, yours to keep
Mine to mourn, mine to weep
Yours to love, yours to cherish
Mine to remember, though you’ve perished
But now I must move on
Since I know you’d want me to
This might be my last visit but I’ll always think of you
Thank you for the laughs, for the love, the good times
These are the moments that I’ll never leave behind
I won't forget our memories, all which I have saved
A gentle tear rolls down my cheek
I place the flowers on your grave

I wrote this piece when a death happened in our school, thousands were mourning the loss of a sweet girl. I never personally knew her, although my friends did. Still, the pain of losing someone is not unfamiliar to me, and I wanted to channel that pain into an art, to turn this bitter moment into something more bittersweet, to alleviate some of the pain brought by death.
