Anyone who cannot come to terms with his life
while he is alive needs one hand to ward off a
little his despair over his fate... but with his other hand
he can note down what he sees among the ruins.

Oops

Something very precious died;
I did not clean its room.
I slept inside its bed at night;
I dreamt inside its tomb.

I moved away as time went by,
But kept a tiny thread
Put inside of my pants each day:
A piece of what was dead.

Today I woke to find the thread
Was lost; completely gone.
The past with it; all hope with it.

EDIT: I'm whiting this out. Highlight it to read it, but it's so dark and defeated, I really don't care for it.
