Mourning Song
a man
played a song
in my dreams last night
it was a eulogy
a homage to a life lost
it was a simple song
softy sung
but powerfully prosed
i woke weeping
mourning a man
that I never knew
mourning a song
that no longer exists
This poem is from the book A Requiem For What Could Have Been: Poetry For The Broken
Questions
How
Can I mourn
The person
You didn’t allow me
To become?
Why
Do I
Keep believing
You’d want
To help me?
What
Would it take
To show you
That
I am
More lost
Than ever?
When
Will I feel
The love
You say
You have
For me?
Where
Are you
Now that you’ve
Left
Your marks
All over me?
Who
Am I
To deserve
These questions
Answered?

If I Were
If I were
To let go of my pain
Who would mourn
The future
I was never able
To have?

death
death
is not true
but it seems like
it is
do not mourn
my passing
life isn’t complete
until it ends
