"Afterthoughts"   11 - 21 - 02



you awake to a new day

remembering the night

those tears you shed

the pillow held tight



you dress yourself

in the mirror you see

a reddened, sad face

as you think,"Poor me..."



over a bowl of cereal

a numb, hollow taste

deciding not hungry

you put it to waste



as you prepare

for another day

you take life

in a new way



all the life you felt, the crown

happiness once known

turned upside down



it's all over

never to be

you close eyes

don't wish to see



why did it have to end

can i bring her back

am i able to mend

undo this fatal attack...
