Let me mourn

Let me mourn the loss of a life
Let me mourn the death of a friend
Let me mourn the fragility of living.
Give me time, spare me
Exclude me from the festivities
Ignore my silence
Let me be quiet, please
Do not speak, do not comment
Do not tell me what you think
Let me, for once, deal with this emptiness
Let me do nothing, let me be idle for once
Allow me the time to weep
Don't wish me a good sleep.
It's my time to mourn, its my time to repent
And my time to lament.
Forgive me for this withdrawal
Understand my need for it though.
This loss of life is not just of a friend
It's of a bundle of dream, ambitions, aspirations and so much more.
