Not a Mourning Person

By Blythe

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

From the depths of a memory In the pit of a dream Locked away for what seemed like forever Until today...it seems Too many nightmares 3 a.m. fills the room Left with only recollections The echo of a hollow womb Faint remeberance of a day Months became a blur 4 weeks were all that stood Between him, between her Not a mourning person Just a bit displaced Haunting of a memory That cannot be erased Half a year and counting Solace show your face Not a mourning person Fill this empty space How's the saying go Ignorance is bliss Maybe once upon a time But can she live with this Not a mourning person Blood dripped from her thighs A memory of the past But the pain holds in her eyes No where to turn No where to go A part of him, a part of her She'll never know Nobody's fault Nobody's choice Echoes from within The child's unheard voice Written January 9th, 2002 © on Jan 09 2002 12:56 PM PST    18 • 0 • 1
