READ IT OUT

 

woe betide you if you say it undertone 

allow your feelings express it’s state 

for this is the passing of a loved one 

a precious gem you shall see no more 

memories will surely haunt you 

the pain of their absence will linger 

you will sought them out but won’t find them again

then you will mourn unattended to

read it out and loud 

I know those words are roaring in your mind 

they are emboldened on the tablet of your heart 

don’t hold it back, accentuate them 

shout how much you loved them 

palpitate as you scream your lungs out 

the dead is already gone we know 

but their spirits dwells amongst us but for a while 

they need to be told how loved they were 

this is a feeling most of us don’t show or tell 

we keep those words inside of us while they are alive 

then lay waste in guilt when they are gone 

don’t bask in foolishness 

don’t wait till guilt eats up your soul 

for guilt springs up loneliness 

loneliness then births depression 

raise your glasses and cheer

celebrate your loved ones alive every now and then 

our bell chimes fast, time sprints 

death waits us all, no one gets out of life alive
