sunlit

I stared into those glassy eyes 
and I cried cried cried
my tears dripping right inside 
wishing to make them alive 

even for a single second 
I craved to fill the emptiness 
to find the missing bond
feel less of the mess

then I closed them lids
as if sleeping they would say
but they felt heavy amidst
this forsaken sunlit day

I heard chatter from afar
gibberish and some laughter 
I could not make sense at all
of this forever after

they lowered the coffin 
deep into the ground 
the thuds filled it to the brim
a soul never to be found

yet I still see them glassy eyes 
and I cried cried cried 
dried up tears and sweet lies 
as on that sunlit day I too died
