I held a funeral for you today.
They lowered your stone cold body
six feet under.
And handful by handful
the earth engulfed you.
I thought of your lifeless body
and how your heart had stopped beating
long before you closed your eyes the final time.
You only exist in memories.
Memories that are tainted
from the bitterness and contempt I have for you.
Please don't try to escape.
Don't claw your way out from under the wooden boards.
It wouldn't do any good.
It would only hurt both of us.
I left no flowers
for the parasite stole all I had.
I am an empty shell.
Are you not satisfied with everything I gave you?
You didn't even spare me a tear.
After everything we've been through.
I walk away.
I turn my back to you
with no intention of turning back.
I will not gaze upon your grave.
I will not send you flowers.
Because I have to continue to live.

I held a funeral for you today.
May you rest in peace.
