Standing here

[Seth]

I shed a single tear
But it doesn't bring you here,

I've screamed a thousand words
But not one seemed to be heard,

Standing here by our home
Shaking by your tombstone,

The world passes on and continues onward
But I cannot seem to move forward,

Not without you, my love, my darling
I can't say GoodBye, it feels so apalling,

Dying so young, it was not at all fair
I cry out falling in lonely despair,

Children play and people walk by
Ignoring how long, how loud I cry,

The tears have fallen and touched your grave
Standing here by your cold resting place,

I shall forget you not anytime soon
Standing near your cold silent tomb.

i liked how you were able to convey feelings of sorrow in this piece. and i agree, it is very sad and very tragic. It's beautiful though. i liked stanzas 6 and 7 the most.
