I can't help but stare

29 4 1
                                    

My eyes move frantically

As I watch others weep

My tears silently stream

As my family wails and screams

I stand in this dress 

This mourning dress 

This disgusting dress

I want to rip my heart into shreads

but I can't

I can't

My eyes finally land on you

A still figure 

Doing nothing but sending waves of pain

My eyelids flicker as I watch you walk away 

My eyelashes block your way

And you turn to me with a merely depressed face

And my irises beg you to stay

And my pupils dialate as you look the other way

And then 

Right there

I let you go

I let myself mourn

My eyelashes dampened with the tears I shed 

My nose scrunched up as my heart continued to beat with blood that was as heavy as lead 

My irised disappointed

And while you walked away

I couldn't help but stare

At your casket

At your white dress

I couldn't help but stare when I found you

With a noose wrapped around your neck
