An Epitaph
The digits, that reached you
Behind a strip of red
Hiding, just as you
Lifeless.
The end, unwritten,
In one last cold breath.
Perhaps, your greatest trick
Was convincing me
That you never existed at all?
I remember
Alone in an alien town, with you
Drenched in one another’s tones
Your eyes, filled with affection
Mine overflowing with longing
Read the rest of the poem Show less
A breakfast we will never forget
An evening we can’t help but remember
My screams bounce off your spine
Your cruel words, unchanged, unscathed.
In your darkest times, you held on to my collar
The very collar you let go
Into the ocean, with absolute
Conviction of your actions
Just when I needed you the most.
Not expecting a testimony,
Notwithstanding, the truth
This may have been your decision,
But you were always a better friend
Than my love, my love
But you’ve left me confused, wondering
Which one of those faces defaced me
And rendered me incapable of existing..
Here lies, your best friend
Your elefriend
Slowly shedding skin
In a decomposing exterior
Losing momentum and mass
Here lies.. your panda,
but I realise
That’s not me no more.
