yet your shadow follows me even now.
I hate you, but I cannot forget you.
Thoughts of you are tiny imps
whispering in my ear,
endlessly
ceaselessly
tirelessly.
But I am tired now, too worn out to
bear the persistent chattering,
the ringing in my head.
I fear I will soon go
crazy
mad
insane.
Today I bury you, so far
underground that you will
never rise again.
I lay this flower on your grave.
Its petals are
blackened
crumbling
dead
like my memory of you.

HI SWEETHEART.. I have missed you and yesterday thought of your gorgeous energy. Now here you are with a piece that for me speaks so much about the moment when we bury love… loved ones… and how sometimes we feel a bit guilty for moving on.. Love this piece and you. xoxooxoxoox
