[hometext] => The death of a family member is enough to upset anyone. Sometimes though one's family that is left can just make it worse. Sometimes all a person needs is a little peace and quiet, basically some time alone.
[bodytext] => When a loved one dies
Who will hear my cries? All the people are rushing And the old woman's hushing "Shh, you'll wake the poor dear..." The kisses and hugs From family and friends Will these monotonous affections never end? And there's the crying and bugging "Are you sure you're all right dear?" they inquire No! I'm not okay I need peace and quiet Won't you ever go away? I'm enduring a pain like 1,000 sharp knives While looking back on my past relatives life It's so hard to focus Everything is unclear The memories are fuzzy But I can still hear The sounds from the past when everything was all right Like the laughs and the giggles From sweet times, long ago For now that you've left this is what we have to show There were picnics, and parties, with family all there When our love had one more person in it to share I feel so much better As the warm memories work For at once they cease my fears They calm my beating heart And finally release my fears [comments] => 3 [counter] => 249 [topic] => 22 [informant] => Lauren [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove )
