In the Mourning

A shivery feeling creeps up my neck
As she screams at the sight of him
His face tight with a fake smile
Makeup covering the sunspots and what life it held
He was her man for her whole life
She was scared to be alone
Who was to take care of her when he's dead

The family sits there the image surreal
Watching the crying grandkids
Carry the casket down the stairs
His strong body ly inside
Never again going to com alive.
