The Departure

At 1pm behind the cathedral,

I shall lay to rest

Yes today is my funeral

I passed out at 2 in the midnight

My dog was the last,

To bid me farewell

Unsoiled by the misfortunes

I endured, my final breath

Was not chained to

Writhing pain,

Nor was I sombre at the last moment

Gratitude - my girlfriend Suzy,

With all the bittersweet moments

We shared;

My callousness;

Her lust-centric vigour

Whatever ill we survived;

Suzy arranged for my adieu;

She surmised,

A short event would do,

To erase me from the

Uncountable minds,

I infested in my lifetime

Her consolation couldn’t

Meet the comfort,

Offered by my cigarettes,

And the bottles of Ron Castillo;

Who held me up in times of ordeal

They took me to the morgue,

An hour later,

I lay there naked, inside an ice cube

At the crack of dawn,

They laid hands on my numb,

Nubile body

With finesse they decked me

Lain in a cushioned teak casket,

I was taken to the cathedral

After the minister's mutterings

They took me to the final spot,

There was a sea of faces,

All mourners,

No admirers

Clouds ready to shower sorrow,

Lest it mattered

I was lowered to the ground,

to rest eternally

away from the earthlings

PS - Excuse this overtly random stuff(also the typos if any), it came to my mind while I was battling boredom and loneliness on a lazy sunday!
