Dear Departed
High five's
attempted
on the way to
the ticker tape
parade
Failed
when the bubbles burst
spilling
dollar store detergent
down the back alley
drain
Killing
what was left of the rest
hoping to remain
alone
with the wretched and
insane
Heartbeats
leaving the house
feeling lost in what
no longer looks like a
home
Dear departed
darkness dies just a little
darkness cries a little and
boiled blood chills in this saddened
wake

This is full of great imagery! That last line just drills everything into focus, though. Well done!
