Hi, guys.
This poem is a pretty depressing lament I wrote recently. It was inspired by the poem written by a friend of mine; this is my take on it. My friend’s poem told the tale of someone who mourned the loss of a murderer even though she knew he didn’t deserve her tears. My mind adapted the poem in this story of someone who mourns not only the murderer’s death, but her own failure because she never got to save his soul. Very tragic, I know.
But I just wanted to share it with y’all. Hope you like it. Hope it makes you feel something or whatever. If you want to read another one of my poems, I published this one as well:
(I didn’t send this out via email which is why not many people saw it.)
Anyways, that’s all for now. I’ll try to post again this week or the next. I do have a vacation coming up so I may not post for a while during that. But if you wanna get notified when I do post something, consider subscribing. It’d mean a lot :).
Hope you all have an amazing day! 🫶
You are a very talented poet! This piece had such sorrow and emotion. Thank you for sharing.
Oh so melancholy... it makes me want to draw something grey and sad, but also meaningful :')
