Goodbyes doesn't fit


I’m trying to talk to you in a way that only your soul and I would ever understand but I got distracted with the crowd.

Every one of us has a different dimension of overwhelming stories with you

And I envy how you have a bunch of friends and supportive loved ones

While all I have is you.

I know you’re listening to everyone's confession all at ones

But please spare a glance to hear mine.

My knees can’t even bear to walk toward you for I’m afraid to remember every detail of your meticulous dress and how you wear your bewitching makeups.

I want to scream against the mumbling noises and wailing voices

But who am I, I’m just the one among your friends.

I’m just the one who read the lyrics of your cries but never dare to write back to motivate you up.

What a shame that I forgot on how I should act on my role,

I ran out of lines and forgot how to cry.

Though everyone is offering their share of memory-filled tears and smiling cheers

But I just can't cry.

I'm lost. Lost while still trying to believe that I’m here wordlessly witnessing

The day of your funeral.
