I lie here, I listen Watch as your tears fall Your whispers and wails Still, I hear them all A piece of me yearns To rise just once more My hearts seared with burns My body’s at war ‘Once more’, screams my heart ‘What for’, yells my brain I can’t tell them apart Don’t know how to explain I’m dead now, I'm gone Please let me move on
My prompt was to write a poem starting with the words “I’ve been dead only an hour.”
