Inspired by “La Figlia che Piange” by T.S, Eliot


Her strong will to keep moving through the loved ones that lay

Hair curled and pinned back still found its way back in front of her face

Over time it all leaves but time takes too long

Her strong will to keep moving now fading away

Arms wrapped around the downhearted 

And tears falling down

Her strong will to keep moving just wants her to drown

Arms turn to rose stems, stabbing her heart

Full of strong emotions that just tear her apart

Of all that she’s been through this was certainly the last because the

Flowers she brought for the loved ones that lay were now brought to her who’s now in a grave

This piece was something that I wrote to help cope when my friend passed away. I've finally built up the courage to share it with the world and I hope you enjoy.
