...when a dead person isn't actually dead.

CHIMERA IN MY BRAIN
You died a tragic inevitable death.
Apparently it was your choice to cease your breath.
I was there at your funeral.
Everyone was there to remark.
But they didn't seem to feel
the awful grief that I felt.
I was crying a river of infinite tears,
Hoping it was just one of those horrible nightmares.
But your death was so vividly real.
And there was nothing more to appeal.
Some nights, I caught myself in capricious fiction,
Hearing sweet whispers of our previous love and devotion. 
Echoes of beautiful memories,
Playing like lovely melodies.
But some other nights, there were sounds of terror,
Howling in agony and intense sorrow.
The painful screams were like a knife cutting every inch of my flesh,
And I was bleeding profusely even deep down through my chest.
I wondered how could a dead person be capable of doing this much.
And it got me thinking of what's real and what's not.

You are welcome my friend. :)
Very moving, ghosts haunt us a long time.
I think until we find peace with their passing.

Thank you for the review. 😊
Amazingly written!
I see so much potential in your writing!
my favorite part was, "I was crying a river of infinite tears,
Hoping it was just one of those horrible nightmares.
But your death was so vividly real.
And there was nothing more to appeal."
Thanks for your amazing poetry!
can you by chance look at my Story The Blonde girl? that would be great.
Keep up the amazing work!

Losing someone is the biggest shock
Sometimes it feels like you can not possible find peace
To see it in light view
or feel the darkness of it all
I guess with ample time

We just learn to avoid the issue all together so you can let go
and live your life as well

ah, the twin that hasn't let go, remaining present in the body...or perhaps a part of ourselves we don't recognize any longer...either way, I sense a deep pain here... well done

Very powerful piece! Also very thought provoking.
I'm still wondering is this person still alive and they just gave up on living.

Is that what you mean below?

"..when a dead person isn't actually dead."

Thank you for sharing!
