Is the Dead any more dead
without a carven tombstone?
Stone and steel aren't forever
just as memories seldom die.
But when the stone is broken,
the man behind the cement mask,
in piece, can finally lie.
The sweet riches of torment
are finally put to slumber
as pain washes away
as life spirals away
in the inevitable corkscrew
of a memory

This touched my heart for some very personal reasons. So personal in fact, I dunno what to say.

But I wanted to let you know that I read, and enjoyed.

And? Love the name too. Kind of sums up MY effect on people too.

Thanks for the read.

Very nice. I think you may've made a tiny mistake though. Peace, instead of peice?
Anyways, I love the s/n!

Yes, I've actually been a member for quite some time.  But, my computer was unreliable for a long time and I didn't write for a long period of time.  But, I'm back.
For those of you who think "piece" is a typo, it really isn't.  But, I blame my lack of skill that doesn't make it obvious.
