Closed Up Thoughts

By Desdemona

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I lie here with my hands on my chest Very still Motionless Not able to move an inch I'm cold so very cold Someone please bring me a blanket I wear this smile only because someone put it there My skin is the the color of fresh snow My cheeks have a pinkish rosy glow Will someone please fluff my satin pillow why did this happen to me why?? I hate this suit This suit makes me fat, but I have no choice How dare my wife pick "this" suit out for me to wear It won't matter anymore anyway I'm sure clothing is optional there Mmmm I bet those flowers smell good I wish I could only smell them one last time. There is so many of them and different kinds. I like these arrangement of flowers and their all for me Makes me want to cry if I only could Hi Kevin, glad you came Wow, Bob and Mary are here and Alice, Tina, John, and Linda... Please don't cry Martha it is okay I will be better off this way Good-bye my wife, my friends and family It was great seeing you one last time I hope you will remember me always in your heart The lord will see I am taken care of everyday Ashes to Ashes dust to dust I am leaving this earth forever.. Leave all of you I must *casket closes* Written May 31st, 1999 © on Nov 02 2001 12:43 PM PST, Lee Gillilan   18 • 0 • 1
