i really relate to this

this put into words all that i was feeling 6 months ago yet could not explain this is an udder masterpiece that was written. i see it fine the way it is. this is my fave part

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come

i couldnt have put this in to better words.

This verse, I love.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.

Funeral Blues by W.H Auden

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.


I am terribly in love with this verse. It truly reflects the love and grief felt. Absolutely beautiful!
