..my mourning..

I threw a lily on the water this morning
praying you knew who it came from
I cried so hard
the pain from my heart
moved to the front of my head
Getting letters from a child
praying for my health
I found myself
tormented praying for myself
As my migraine grew stronger
I prayed it would go away
I went to townto find some joy
all I found were withered hearts
The cemeteries were
full of listless souls
I had to bury
a simple joy todayas it had died
smothered by it's warming home
I didn't bother to brush away the maggots
It was already gone
I looked for another lily
for my lost joy
I found a daisy
but I just couldn't tear it away
