The funeral

by clare   Feb 23, 2007


I have grieved,
I have wept night and day for my loss,
I say his name over and over,
I listen to myself as I say it,

I went home,
I slept alone,

I learned the behaviour of the bereaved,
All those months, the years, worthless,
I tried to sleep, but I found your hair,
Long dark and no longer mine,

I was faithfull, always to you,
You are still so real to me,
And now all I want is for you to be a distant memory.

I wrote this after my boyfriend broke up with me at his nans funeral!!
