Memory

A Poem by Veronica R. Craft
"

Whenever I see my bedside, I think about dying.

"
The sky was falling down,
drop-by-drop;
& I, extended my hands out,
trying to catch each piece.
Together, I placed those pieces-
right in my eyes;
& they rolled out- down my cheeks,
as I was staring, blankly,
blankly- at my bedroom floor.
Near my bed, on the ground,
I lied, exhausted,
almost two years ago.

Crying, screaming, raging: silently.
I closed my arms
and hugged myself;
& wished to stop my seasons;
I wished to end my being.

But what a coward dog
can probably achieve?
Definitely not something it desires.

I closed my eyes & felt-
the drops, sliding down my cheeks.
Two years ago; the sky fell down;
drop-by-drop; piece-by-piece.
