Mourning...Alone....

Death claims its victim

silently,

unexpectedly

leaving behind

a hurting trace

of mental agony,

of bleeding heartstrings

tied to the door knob

of mortality.....

Everyone peeks in

to offer their respect

to the departed soul,

to make their presence felt

amidst the chaos of superficiality

and then....

there is silence,

an aching bruise

of mourning alone

away from the world

within the depressing confines

of the heart

where emotions

ravage a denying mind....

(For a neighbour who passed away unexpectedly)
