it's weird
i missed the ceremony of death that i planned to attend
and found myself at an unexpected one
and here i stand looking over into casket of...
yeah...
i stare and ponder
for my body is paralyzed
and incapable of doing anything else
it's weird
no one is present but lonesome me
who else should be here?
so many thoughts, moments, feelings
a tidal wave in its peak preparing to crash and destroy
i am the tidal wave
i am the shore
i am the destroyer
i am the destroyed
it's weird
that all that is within me
beckons flowing streams of salt water, my tears
yet, my face remains dry
but my heart cries twice the tears as the blood it pumps
all i can do is stare
and think about what was
and what is not come
and what will not be
it's weird
that although no tears
escape my eyes
nor words
from my mouth
the black markings
that form my thoughts
into readable increments
are wetter
and more pain filled
than i can ever be
at this moment
as i stare
at the result
of my
selfishness
