Good Days

Posted Jul 31, 2021 · 23 lines · 3 critiques

“Good days, remember the good days,” everyone said.
I sat in front of my parent's tombs and nodded.
The good days? I should remember the worst ones.
So I can cry once
Because after this, it will be unacceptable to cry again.
For them, at least.
After today, they will die once again, and this time it truly will be forever.
A hand on my shoulder “Good days dear, remember them.”
I cannot seem to remember any.

Forty- five years later, when I am on my deathbed staring at my white ceiling, staring at a crowd of familiar faces watching me.
I suddenly remember
“Ah, yes, those were the good days.”
A tear slides down my cheek as those days do not stop blooming before my eyes.
Eyes glazing over, I faintly smile at the sickening, sympathetic silence in my room but the joyous sounds in my head.

How was it so hard to remember these so long ago?
They cannot seem to stop now.
Suddenly, the fact that I cried one day for my parents seems so unfair.
How could I have ever let them die again?
They were there when I was brought to this world, and now they seem to be here when I am leaving.
I hope someone continues to cry for me
So, I will not forever die again.
Now that I am on this bed, I realize what it means to have only one moment to cry.
Oh, the good days, I hope I never have difficulty finding them again.

"Does a mind and body good, thru the release of mindplace on paper. Lovely to let all the dark out so light can break thru. To your request about structure, I think, -just my opinion and worth only what you paid for it……"
