In the graveyard,
Sitting on a old rotted stump
Surrounded by dead people tombstones
Some you can tell who they left behind,
And others you cannot tell who they are.
New life starts here every day
And more people come in everyday, but cannot leave.
They are here for life, a final resting-place.
Under the ground, in the dirt.
As I think of the lost love ones, a tear slips down my cheek
I feel so peaceful
Nothing to worry about
No problems up here
Just me and dead people in the ground
They don’t know me, and never will.
I feel so safe, talking to the dead.
They listen to me like no one else has
So, when I talk they listen and cannot talk back.
I feel like I know them, but never will
I can cry and feel the comfort
Like they know what I am going through
Looking over the quiet little town from up above
Everything looks so dead
But we are so alive.

I love those lines, and although I dont find much comfort, but sadness in graveyards, I lvo talking to someone that cant talk back. My dog is that for me.... Great Post

I really liked this poem. I have to admit, the topic of graveyards has never come up as something I would write about, but I'm impressed how well you pulled this off.

Those last two lines aren't entirely true. A lot of us are already dead but merely living in a shell. There is no life in our souls to call us a living person.

Death, graveyards. Yay for the morbid topic. I'm being serious. Dark poetry is always far more fascinating than love.

Thanks for the interesting read. Much enjoyed.
