Everyone wonders why I’m Sad
\nThey cannot be Thoughtful
\nWhile I’m here Lamenting
\nMy mother’s Death
\nNot a single Person
\nVisits her grave in the Churchyard<\/p>\n
Each morning with prayers in the Churchyard
\nPerhaps God will understand why I’m Sad
\nHe should, after he took away this Person
\nNay, this angel, so Thoughtful
\nCaring for me until Death
\nAnd yet they question my Lamenting<\/p>\n
I whip myself, Lamenting
\nThat they would reconstruct the Churchyard
\nThat they would be sorrowful in Death
\nWhy is it they are not Sad
\nCould it be this world killed the Thoughtful
\nCould I be the last real Person<\/p>\n
They mock me as that Person
\nWho beats himself in Lamenting
\n“A show, the savage is Thoughtful
\nA lighthouse, my new Churchyard
\nWithout her here, I am Sad
\nWithout them here, I see Death<\/p>\n
I see the woman who helped with her Death
\nShe was not the only Person
\nBut seeing her, remembering her naked body, makes me Sad
\nShe is the real reason I am Lamenting
\nBringing my sins into this makeshift Churchyard
\nThat you brought her, Lord, is Thoughtful<\/p>\n
She acts concerned and Thoughtful
\nBut she deserves a Death
\nFrom my beating in the Churchyard
\nIn front of every Person
\nThey all join Lamenting
\nPainful orgies cure the Sad<\/p>\n
I left the Thoughtful behind and lost my one Person
\nI deserve Death and have failed my Lamenting
\nThe rope will decorate my Churchyard with a decoration most Sad<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
