wild orchid
By edenscancer
so it's Sunday mass like the time we fucked in the confessional booth
except this time your laid out in a casket like a piece of meat and
silk
Like a cocaine graced angel, in midst of rehabilitation
haze
like a warm night and a sad sight like somewhere I thought
we were before
but it was just a dream and we were young like two
kids playing on the floor
I met this girl she didn't see
me when I was crying over you
Although sometimes I wake up screaming
and she holds me
while I remember you
And she says It's ok
If I'm still in love with you
even though I know your dead and I
must confess
I keep thinking you'll wake up and
everything
will be like a nightmare passed
it's in the past
and her heart is like the orchids they laid at your feet when they buried
you
soft and sweet I'm sure you remember I wasn't there because
I was getting better
I was draining the pain from my veins and
ditching the drug that killed you
remember when you died in my arms,
when I was holding you
And you sang your song to me, I knew you were
dead when your tears stopped
And death came
to calm the shakes
in the alleyway
your last
damned wish
was don't die this way
yasei ran'
you went away
and I wake up sweating
and start
to scream
which is where I write
this fucked
up scene
And I met a girl, her face is like the sexiest
satin that cools the skin when she kisses
I was torn apart and remembering
you when she met me
I was going to kill myself when she came to me
and held me
I love her more than life itself
and when
I see her my heart stops like
your heart did
And I hope
you understand
I hope you understand

While I can't even begin to fathom the extent of the pain actually going through this would cause, simply reading this poem made my heart leap out of my chest and run away in an attempt to get away from the agonizing pain that this evokes.

I come back to this every few weeks, still left speechless by the pain and the emotions... "I was going to kill myself when she came to me and held me" stinging, aching agony...No words I have can compare to this heart-shattering devastation...

i read this when it was first posted and couldn't find words to comment for fear of tripping .. 'and her heart is like the orchids they laid at your feet when they buried you' .. this utterly crashes the heart ..

.. only to be reinforced by the repetition of the final two lines .. damn .. Seraphim is right .. it's difficult to comment when grief is displayed so genuinely as though captured within a devastating portrait..
