I had worn the red dress to the funeral
He said he loved seeing me in the dress.
So I wore it, even if it was a bright red.
The little ones want to know why, and
when will it get better, than the dread.
I float through a sea of black,
anchoring the little hands, that held me.
Even with the glass face staring,
Pleasures of the past grip me.
Amazement and shock settle as I struggle,
with a void and unearthly pain.
Drawing in mock strength,
I shut in my tears, shut out the rain.
They never understood, the house
him and myself had made.
Or how now, I seek solace in,
a long-for-but lost, pair of jade.
It seems that nothing can matter now,
As I look around taking in the scene.
Looking still, feeling ill, tensely,
as He is placed slowly beneath the green.
Falling to my knees, my vision blurs,
Brokenly, I embrace the ones left here.
It doesnt seem real, a nightmare surely,
I wanted to go home to see him there.
Its been over for years and
for him, my heart never cease beating,
I had worn the red dress to the funeral,
a tribute to our love, undying, not fleeting.
So I wore it, even if it was a bright red.
The little ones want to know why, and
when will it get better, than the dread.
I float through a sea of black,
anchoring the little hands, that held me.
Even with the glass face staring,
Pleasures of the past grip me.
Amazement and shock settle as I struggle,
with a void and unearthly pain.
Drawing in mock strength,
I shut in my tears, shut out the rain.
They never understood, the house
him and myself had made.
Or how now, I seek solace in,
a long-for-but lost, pair of jade.
It seems that nothing can matter now,
As I look around taking in the scene.
Looking still, feeling ill, tensely,
as He is placed slowly beneath the green.
Falling to my knees, my vision blurs,
Brokenly, I embrace the ones left here.
It doesnt seem real, a nightmare surely,
I wanted to go home to see him there.
Its been over for years and
for him, my heart never cease beating,
I had worn the red dress to the funeral,
a tribute to our love, undying, not fleeting.
