Baskadia

Minutes ago, she was sitting

Right beside me laughing.

I remember it all.

She never missed a chance

When back home

To bring her head for me to kiss

I thought all days would be the same,

And I wouldn't have to stare

At her lying in a box.

I want to cry out loud,

So that the whole world my pain can behold.

But my throat won't let me.

I'm drowning in thoughts so wild

That I feel life has me defiled.

Many are privileged to say farewell,

But I was away when she breathed her last.

Confused and still in shock.

Not knowing what to do when I'm home, back.

All I think of is pick my jacket and leave,

Away from everyone and everything reminding me of her.
