Going to funerals is the worst
That feeling of tightness
like your heart's about to burst
People dressed in grey and black
All you want
Is for the happiness to come back
Tears flowing down sore cheeks
Wondering
Will this moment drag on for weeks?
Dark brown coffin, lowering down
Saying goodbyes
It disappears into the ground
Light granite gravestone, meaningless words
How are the only ones cheerful, the chirping black birds?
Rain starts to fall, pitter-pattering
Onto opened umbrellas
To the mourning silence, the sound's deterring
The reception, stale sandwiches, cold drinks
Empty sympathies
I'm glad I'm not them, the caterer thinks
Out the window, I see the empty hearse
Drive slowly by
Is this sadness a never ending curse?
