I Mourn Not
I mourn not for the dead.
I mourn not for those
In their Eternal Home.
I mourn not for those in Hell.
I mourn not for those in Heaven.
I mourn not for the loved ones,
Lost to this Cursed World.
I mourn not for the life
They left behind,
Their Past,
Their unfinished Future.
I mourn not for things left undone,
Mistakes made,
Victories won,
Wounds inflicted,
Kindnesses shown.
I mourn not for the good they did,
The wrongs they wrought.
No, I mourn not for the dead.
