They are all the same

You left dead flowers at my grave,

as if they were all the same.

 

Most leave bouquets,

even though they will slowly die,

just like me til I made it to the afterlife.

 

But you brought dead ones,

did you buy them before I died in my last days?

just so you could watch the beauty wither away?

 

Or did you try to keep them alive in hopes it would bring me back to life?

 

Maybe you bought them as a time keeper for when I would be gone,

each petal falling,

as my breaths became exhausting,

I just hope you one day can move beyond me.

  • Ink

    There is a different version of me that leaks out,

    dripping ink on these pages,

    hollow and raw,

    saying all my thoughts.

     

    A flow of words that may have never left my head,

  • Lenses

    We need more joy in this world, 

    we need less of this depressing sense of life, 

    when everything around us is so beautiful. 

     

    But we only look through a gray lens to see it. 

  • Rabbit hole

    I'm looking in the mirror,

    I don't match the picture on the screen,

    should I be sad or pleased?

     

    One click at a time,

    one more scroll,

    oops I fell down the rabbit hole.
