Sad Poems

~Stone Faced~

I explain my day to you as you sit silent.

                                                               I speak softly into the quiet.

                    You sit stone-faced as I tell you the good news.

                                                     I tell you that I will be joining you soon.

   You told me once that I had to be brave.

                                   And that I will do, as I will soon join you in your grave.
