Funeral
My funeral was empty, my gravestone was bare
The flowers that were meant for my mourning, were never there
No one planted the soft grass, for the criers to kneel on
No one visited me daily, no one knew I was gone
I died so alone, even the walls turned away
The floors closed their eyes, and I begged them to stay
I saw the chair turn its back, I watched my surroundings fade
I was left to be alone, left to die in peace, but instead I drifted off,
into an infinite sleep
You shot me a thousand times,
and you fell to the floor,
you begged for a rescuer, you left me behind closed doors
You shot me a thousand times,
and you played the role as hurt,
you played the one that bled out
You sang sadness and dark words
You shot me a thousand times,
just as you did to the rest
You sat there with depressed eyes,
pleading for their mercy, crying for this mess
While I laid, behind your pitiful lies, bleeding to death
-Chloe Aldecoa
