Ballad to the Grave: Sad Things

Sad Things

shattered wine glasses

crumpled up paper

withering, faded roses

tears dropping to the floor

vanishing candle light

soft piano music

cracked tombstones

broken bones

dark funerals

suicide letters

black, covered writing

empty oceans

apologies to those gone

saying goodbye

dying escapes

worn out patience

end of sentence.

-Jeffrey Yang
