Buried Love

I had to attend a funeral today

For an entire family died

They died a slow and painful death

But I was the only one who cried

First I buried the one called Trust

He died one broken promise at a time

People said he looked so very young

And that he left us before his prime

And then I had to bury Honesty

He died from a disease called lies

But without the antibiotic we call truth

Honesty always dies

Then I had to bury Forgiveness

For he just simply got too old

I had to use him over and over again

Because of all the lies you told

I buried all these things to do with love

But still I wasn't through

I had to bury all of my memories

And then I buried You

I find myself, as always when I read your work, both very impressed and extremely humbled. You use such simple language and yet the meaning in this poem was very heavy. I connected with it from the first line, and the last line was, in my opinion, the perfect ending.
