Home, No More (Poem)

Bury me in your heartstrings

As there is no other place I'd like to sleep

Accompanied by our wedding rings

Oh, how I weep

When I'm gone, will you remember me?

Like I used to wait impatiently?

In the darkness I'll be all alone

But your memories, they'll keep me home

Our children's laughter

I will miss them dearly

I hope they don't end up in disaster

My mistakes... they'll impact them severely

I only have a sole regret

I never got to finish my baguette

Oh, how I jest

What more can I do, before I rest?

Will it hurt, and will I burn?

I'm scared it's too late

Why did I not learn?

I could have stopped right at the gate

The screams, they still haunt

I fear they'll never be gone

Soon, it's me they'll daunt

My fears will carry on

But tell me, did I do right?

If it's you I've hurt, then I don't deserve peace of mind

I look into your eyes, and all I see is light

Oh, but why was I never as kind?

I became a prey to your beauty

If only you had caught me sooner

I would have stopped my duty

At least I'd been a late bloomer

To you, my Dear

I offer my love and sorrow

That I could not adhere

So that we could enjoy tomorrow

As one final gesture

I planted a rose

Hoping it'll be our treasure

Bringing my life to a close

Now I lay, in fear of judgment

Please don't cry, as I could not bear you suffering

You are my present

And for you, I will be forever lamenting.
