Posthumously He Said
Rated: E | Poetry | Adult | #1856917
A poem about a letter never sent and what was said.

-Posthumously He Said-
by
Keaton Foster

*Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5*


Is he dead
Did his life end
Was it taken
Did he give it up
A bullet to the brain
A rope around his neck
A sickness forcefully lent
To him I could always relate
Bound by blood
We were one and the same
Existing through thick and thin
He never had a chance
He still acted as if he did
For a time he was so sure
That he would make it
Confident within his lies
The truth was placed aside
Posthumously he said
In a letter not addressed
Forgive me for all that I did
Forget my mistakes
Lend me some grace
A certain level of escape
Freedom from my ways
The pain was too great
Another day I could not face
I knew you would find me
I knew you would be the first
These words are for you
And certainly no one else
I don't want them to know
The true sadness of my soul
I want them to think
That my death was a mistake
An action taken in haste
A wasteful display of shame
If they knew, they would say
That I was in the midst of a bad stage
A hurdle that could not be faced
Unless of course with their help
Such heretics in suits of flesh
They had their chance to care
A lifetime of dares
Did I send their way
Hear me, listen, save me
There was no reply
Only in you could I confide
Only in you the truth will hide
Say a prayer for me
Then one for yourself
Ask God to grant me a home
A kingdom beyond skin and bones
A place of peace in a wilderness
Of never ending relief
Death is nothing I have ever feared
Life on the other hand
Has always frightened the hell out of me
These words, the news, the truth
Are all for you to keep
Reflection dare seen
Posthumously he said
Subsequently it was read…
