What is mourning?

It's like a five year old girl looking for her daddy
Then turning to the right and seeing his coffin
It's trying to tell her he's up there in heaven
But it will take her a lifetime to see him again.

It's like witnessing a house light up and burn down
And watching the ashes scatter around
It's looking for water so you can help out
Then realize that it is the middle of a drought.

It's like trying to shout every held up feeling
But no one seems to hear a thing
It's kneeling to the floor and crying and cursing
But everyone does not care about what they're seeing.

It's waking up in the morning to find out he's gone
And trying to feel his warmth but there is none
It's remembering the embrace of that one man
Just to open your eyes to see an empty hand.

It's holding onto the past 'cause that's all you've got
And hating the present 'cause nothing feels right
It's fearing the future for more or's and but's
But still waking up just to see all end and rot.

Kind of imitated from one of my CW 10 classmates. Her poem's really good so I was inspired to write something the same. :P
