this is the other one i wrote for my cousin nic

paper cup sadness

your tears have turned to stone
making this quiet home a rock quarry.
scarlet marks the way around boulders
and its slippery when wet, so this is a warning.
the stress has you sweating
blood that is squeezed from your pores.
wringing your hands gets you no closer
to sinking quietly into the floors.
pulling out your own hair
waont age you any quicker than time,
just wait for the sky to fall
and see what heaven's like to the blind.
the first thing you see
will be the last thing you remember
and your concentration is lapsing
so, soon you'll have to surrender.
pick up these stones and
scrape off all the pain you own.
if only it were that simple,
if only your time together had grown.
but the wooden bed of eternity
has been placed below your feet.
and rain only adds to the morbidity
so fitting for a funeral drowned in the street.
voices lost that connect to pictures
hung on all the sorrow soaked walls,
cry out to you in your sleep
and you can only listen deafly to their call.
"until deth do us part"
those were the words spoken,
but you never dreamed it would happen,
nightmares kept you from being woken.
a bond to tight that
even when deth pushes into the unity
it drags you closer to itself,
and you long for her, wishing to follow her into infinity.
now you serve us all your sadness
in paper cups at the funeral,
we drink deep only to vomit
through our eyes and make it integral.

deth makes you part,
tears open the heart,
hurling it apart,
and banishing a start.

comfort comes to us all eventually......

now im alone, but not lonely like before
