⚠️ talks about death

＊✿❀ o ❀✿＊.............＊✿❀ o ❀✿＊

Dear Kith and Kin
Grateful, should I be?

In the comfort of death's embrace
Amused, I really am

What were those tears about?
Now I see you sneering my way

Haven't I done enough?
But you were never pleased

The canine I had raised
Sheds lonely tears for me

Why are your eyes dry?
You don't feel any pain

I've been nothing to you
Just the bringer of funds

The burden on my shoulders
Seem the same to none

It wasn't easy, I wish I could tell you that
You wouldn't listen anyway, maybe it's my fate

Why the pretence?
I haven't forced you here

Even in my final moment
Compassion is what I crave

Yet in the comfort of death's embrace
Hurt, I indeed am

Wish I could spite your cruelty
And even if for a moment, live for myself

For when the selfish bury you
Peace is nowhere to be found

I have learnt it the hard way
I pray this becomes not a loop

-Sreya.
