The Funeral by Kristen Thomason
Free Form Poetry writing prompt entry

It was a cold, ugly day when we laid you to rest
So when I had to get dressed 
I looked like a mess
Wearing a satin dress while in distress
 
As I shivered in the cold
I watched it unfold
They had your coffin laid out 
Like a centerpiece no doubt 
 
The mud was wet and sticky 
So mom and dad got stuck pretty quickly
They missed the funeral, we all were worried
And it felt like it was hurried
 
I wasn't ready to leave you in the cold
But I had to go, I was told
Though I sat there as long as I could 
Then I got up, there I stood 
 
As if I expected the casket to open
And the curse to be broken
But it remained shut and quiet 
So I left and became compliant 
 
I wanted to see where you would be buried 
So I did not tarry 
But then I saw the hole and ran away 
I left you there that day 
 
It was a cold, dreary day 
When I left you there to stay
