They who would have me forget (Free verse) by BleedingRose
They tell me, "laugh". They tell me, "smile". They tell me, "pain fades after a while". "Turn your back". "Leave it behind". "Find solace in a joy of another kind". But I live for that grief. I live for that pain. That ache in my heart like an acid rain. Every second I mourn. Every second I cry. I give meaning to the losses of days gone by.

Up the ladder: The Grave (thanks to z)
Down the ladder: The Arms of Your Man

good rhythm I think. Acid does not ache you though, it burns. In fact acid rain is too weak to do much at all, dissolve gravestones slowly perhaps.

The real feeling comes through.
It comes across as a bit trite, but still
heart-felt.
