sitting alone with nowhere to go <br />ignoring the static from the radio <br />that interrupts my favorite song <br />haven’t loved it in so long <br /> <br />some say love is a foolish thing <br />and although not in all cases <br />i can’t help but agree <br />with the smarter majority <br /> <br />so many weddings <br />just white funerals <br />a hand to hold <br />for the rest of her life <br />open to the bliss <br />and the carelessness <br />be careful, more careful <br />does it still feel right <br /> <br />i’ll apologize in all the places <br />where i frowned at all the smiling faces <br />i just wonder if that will be me <br />with a wedding dress and a history <br /> <br />so much thought in an august moment <br />i’m living in my favorite season <br />but winter’s here, and taking control <br />as we let the rest of our days unfold <br /> <br />so many weddings <br />just white funerals <br />someone she barely knows <br />becomes her life <br />open to neglect <br />and disrespect <br />that comes with the one <br />she loved last night <br /> <br />i think of someone i know <br />better than anyone <br />i think i’ll be more optomistic <br />when this is done <br />can’t help but to think <br />that my white funeral <br />won’t be a funeral at all <br />because i know him <br />she doesn’t know him <br /> <br />so many weddings <br />just white funerals <br />but i’m so glad <br />that won’t be mine <br />open to his <br />fuffilled promises <br />he knows who i am <br />we’ll be fine <br /> <br />the white funeral is over <br />the bride’s been burried <br />in her own mistake<br /><br />Jade Leven<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/white-funeral/
