Tears Poem by fia fionn

tears and more tears... I write to you without even seeing the keyboard
tears roll down my cheeks, no one to hand me a tissue
I wait for them
visions of them dying
I was so sure she would live, so sure
worms, decay, dirt covers them
engulfed them, swallowed bones and flesh
I mourn. why does no one see it
my cheeks worn from tears
no one to hold my hand. clenching fists
unburied lost years
mother, brother, sister, friend
breath stopped. revisited fear
worn shoes. a watch. crippled heart
incense wafts in the air. coffins
the clank of the chain as it passes over
bodies lay inside
crosses made of palms left. holly water sprinkled
tombstones rise. names appear. dirt is moved
grass grows
fear engulfs me
why has no one come
