Roses At Your Grave

Roses At Your Grave

We were  supposed to be dead to each other.

But what does dying mean, exactly?

Isn’t it natural to mourn over your dearly departed?

Are my tears not valid?

 

You, on the other hand, have moved on.

On to where we’re told is a better place.

You said it’s Hell, though.

Just makes me wonder if that’s what really happens to all those who actually die…

 

And in that hell of yours,

You will be Tormented.

Instead of being forced to think about the consequences

Of what happened between us.

I will have been forgotten.

That’s what “Dead” meant to you.

 

Not necessarily what it meant to me, I have to add.

No, the ones left behind Never forget.

Never stop thinking about What Could Have Been.

 

So don’t be surprised

When you find Roses on your grave.

One for each day

That I’ve Loved you.

Stirred some deep subsided emotions and feelings... Freshens some old wounds... This was deep, heart wrenching and beautifully sad...can connect to it on so many levels... You've penned a master piece of a write in such an effortless manner...
The end was powerful and gorgeous...
I loved it all the way... Great write...

And I exactly know what you are going through no matter what you say

[Blue Ivory]

Lol ok. Well don't worry, I'm not going along with the ending in real life. I just added that cuz it sounds nice. That's the difference between reality and art.

[Infinite hexes]

no i didnt mean the poem -__

I can read this two ways, as the person is still alive and just dead to you in spirit, or has really passed on....either way it's an emotional read. Have no clue if there's really a hell, sometimes I think it's right here on earth. Really like the last verse.

[Blue Ivory]

Your first guess was the right one. Thanks for reading :)

[Frieda P]

Ha now I really understand the 'hell' reference. ;-) My pleasure....

A poem about roses and death. Always create a very good poem. Good questions brought to life by the excellent poetry. I like the ending a lot. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.
