eulogy for my beloved
eulogy for my beloved what am i without you? i sit still in the darkness of day a mere shadow of my past self, crumpled in blurred dreams when i pray for better times and for old times, for times i didn't know were better, when i had you and didn't love you - my past self, i wouldn't let her hurt you again. what am i without you? an exotic flower without a stem - pretty but purposeless enough; a silk garment without a hem. Hold me up for i fail to stand without you, i'm inadequate in ways that i used to feel whole; i can't bear the darkness i sit in anymore. what am i without you? everything i don't want to be right now. aishy 15 feb 26
