No Flowers (Poem 29 NaPoWriMo)

What if my death bed received no flowers?

Maybe for the first time I won’t be sad,

At Least they’ll not lie to me after my death,

They don’t need to shower the flowers when

All they gave me when I was alive were thorns and hate.

What if my death bed received no flowers?

I might secret it for a few lonely times

That I couldn’t make friends; couldn’t love the wise,

But soon the pain will drift away,

Like the dew drops residing in dry hay.

What if my death bed received no flowers?

I will fake a smile to my chaperones stuck between heaven and hell,

Telling them how I never let them love me,

Never let them behold my heart,

And maybe the smile will turn into a genuine on then.

What if my death bed received no flowers?

I’ll start finding the glitches that reside,

Which took over the mourning lies,

And I’ll beg to god to give me strength,

To lie like them so that I receive a few flowers when I die once again.
