familiar face

mika goldberg 2000 (adelaide)

Elegy
Sudden jolts of striking pain
Vibrant purples in his veins
In his last second's life replays
everything, the weeks the days
Maybe so his life wasn't worth it
But in my eyes our life was perfect
Every second, a familiar face
Every moment, he’d never erase.

About this poem

not regretting a life unworthy of living, his life wasn't like others and that's what makes It so special
