I Hope You’re Happy Up There
KTHT June Prompt
I hope you’re happy up there
as I lay on my bed down here
wondering where I went wrong
listening to your favorite song
the one that you’d play on repeat
when you tried to go to sleep
I hope you’re happy up there
because now I have no one to share
all the funny stories of my day
or all the things I wish to say
with all the thoughts spinning in my head
all the regrets of my choices instead
I hope you’re happy up there
as the emptiness is too much to bear
where your voice used to fill
the room is now too still
a tomb of sepia memories
with random things and dust filled accessories
I hope you’re happy up there
as I find a reason to care
to get up and get dressed
ignoring the truth that I’m depressed
as gravity fuels my grieving soul
pulling me down into this dark hole
I hope you’re happy up there…
