Prompt 2- Mournful Day

PROMPT- Write about an experience that emotionally affected you deeply, write about your feelings while experiencing that, not about what happened.

I'm not sure why,

but today

everyone just wants to cry.

It might be about Aunt Kay,

I haven't seen her today....

I'm at a very sad place

Everyone has tears in their eyes

I'm kind of in a trace

It must be a lie.

Why won't she open her eyes?

The further into the day we go

The more I understand

My spirits are low

And I can't even hold her hand.

I wish I didn't understand.

The day is so cheerful

The sun shines on

My strength seems to dwindle

Standing on this mournful lawn.

Why does the sun shine on?

The next few days are torture

I've never felt so sad

Of all the deaths I'd have to endure

Hers is making me mad

But I can't stop crying, I'm too sad.

What did I do to deserve this?

I'm only six,

Why must I be pulled into this abyss?

My heart is covered by an eclipse.

Is it my fault?

~ In loving memory of Aunt Kay ~

~ I couldn't have asked for a better aunt. I wish I had more memories with you, but I'll cherish the ones I have for the rest of my life. Thank you, for being you. ~
