Somehow they have all been mislead.
Small hands searching, seizing,
screaming wordless screams.
I try to step back
but the crowd pulses forward
Swallowing my spirit.
Hope curls up and dies a violent death
when confronted with such a lovely casket.
Already they have carved you out of their hearts
and left you to die a second lonely death.
Releasing you in a flood of tears,
but I will not be so selfish.
I will hold you here,
for the mislead have rejected you now.
I will stand tall for you, where all others have crawled
and cut away the insincere gestures.
Covering the remnants of your raped spirit
with the love of my own.

I wrote this specifically for my father's death....or tried to write it for that specifically.
But now it's sort of just a general poem about death. I wonder, can you possibly relate?
