Have you ever written a 'pantoum' before?
It's a type of poem.
And mine goes like this:-

The flower petals are scattered
I am scared to leave my seat
It's hard to concentrate
Dressed in all black.

I am scared to leave my seat
More people are arriving
Dressed in all black
There is no-one here, beside me.

More people are arriving
I'm listening to the murmurs
There is no-one here, beside me
There is no way you are gone.

I'm listening to the murmurs
It's getting dark outside
There is no way you are gone
The church is nearing empty.

It's getting dark outside
AS I kneel beside your casket
The church is nearing empty
I will never leave your side.

As I kneel beside your casket
It's hard to concentrate
I will never leave your side
The flower petals are scattered.

*hug* i have written

*hug* i have written pontoums before, but nothing this good.

i wish i could say something...anything, but words seem too trivial, and 'i'm so sorry' can't come close. but i am. i'm so, so sorry.
