![]() MemoryA Poem by Veronica R. Craft![]() Whenever I see my bedside, I think about dying.![]()
The sky was falling down,
drop-by-drop; & I, extended my hands out, trying to catch each piece. Together, I placed those pieces- right in my eyes; & they rolled out- down my cheeks, as I was staring, blankly, blankly- at my bedroom floor. Near my bed, on the ground, I lied, exhausted, almost two years ago. Crying, screaming, raging: silently. I closed my arms and hugged myself; & wished to stop my seasons; I wished to end my being. But what a coward dog can probably achieve? Definitely not something it desires. I closed my eyes & felt- the drops, sliding down my cheeks. Two years ago; the sky fell down; drop-by-drop; piece-by-piece. -VrC
