Cold

poem by: Selena Mack
Written on May 13, 2015

It was cold, grey and dark.
My brother knee deep in a river.
The stream could not quench his spark.

My father working with the man next door,
Laying tile in a pattern: white black, light dark.
My mother on the sofa, wanting something more.

My friend across the town, at the county fair.
She's with her boyfriend, forgot about me.
I smiled sad, and said I did not care.

Alas, my words were laced with lies.
And so it was cold, grey and dark
On the day that I died.
