Appreciation

In the somber and grave cemetery I stand alone

The wispy wintry winds whipping my hair to and fro

Though the tears sting at my eyes I refuse to let them go

 

They do not deserve to

I did not appreciate

What I had once had

I only realized I

Was sorry for my neglect

When I could not return

The human life I had toyed

 

Death is an unforgiving giver

Because if you are to come hither

You will receive something you are bound

To shatter or misplace among others

And Death will not refund your purchase

And your credit with him shall be soiled

Never again will he reward you

 

In the somber and grave cemetery I stand alone

The wispy wintry winds whipping my hair to and fro

Though the tears sting at my eyes I refuse to let them go
