Too late for accolades
I was once like you
Living and breathing
Eating and sleeping
Till death called me
To a sleep from which I
Would never wake up
Luring me with a tune
So sweet and mesmerizing
That I had to follow her
I remember you
The many times you ignored me
The cloak of invisibility
You viewed me through
Now I’m gone
It hasn’t even been ling
And yet you pretend to be my best friend
Big fat tears falling down your cheeks
Hiccups interspersed with your speech
She was a great lady you preach
Fun and easy to be around
Lying because I’m six feet underground
I remember you
Always with your cronies
All you cared about was your trophies
Bullying was your pastime
Teasing mercilessly was your crime
How did you fit into that dress
With all that flesh?
You belted out loud
In front of a crowd
Who was he referring to?
It was me, not you
Now I’m gone
She was so sweet you say
Your face looking ashen and gray
Thinking because I’m no more
You can lie like never before
I remember you
Dancing with your friends
Always in the latest fashion trends
Gossiping about me
With those three under the mango tree
Wicked grins sent in my direction
Believing that they were the epitome of perfection
Now I’m gone
You’ve turned into the messenger of doom
Your face, a mask of gloom
She was such a gentle soul, you tell
It wasn’t in her to be cruel
Your acting so impeccable
It could have drawn a spectacle
Hypocrites!
Fun and easy to be around you say
And yet you ignored me
I was a sweet lady, you say
And yet you teased me
Such a gentle soul, you say
And yet you gossiped about me
My death was the unifying factor between you three
Singing my praises to the moon
When death called me too soon
Not one word of love when I was alive
It’s too late now
Too late for accolades
