My Funeral

Wordless Epitaph

My Funeral


An opening for sadness 
The cemetary shined 
Shiny stones on those who died 

Among them a man lies 
Thorns grow on his mound 
Somehow his death was bound 
To come by me 

The crowd had departed 
Flowers were there 
Despite the custom 
I had brought none 

All the things you had done 
All that was wrong 
Not a word was carved 
Upon your stone 

Embers are dying,fire is running out 
I waste my time on this heartless stone 
The epitaph is blank as are my thoughts of you 
Enjoy the death I brought 

Deciding to stay a while 
Memorizing you 
The lowest form 
Of life you were 

The faith you brought along 
The faith that was wrong 
You tried to make us all 
Blind 

But you made the mistake 
Of going to war (with me) 
As it appears I won it all 

Not an act of violence 
Was needed to see 
That you will remain buried
