Deserved mourning

As you learnt 
Speaking and played 
With words.
Few got choked in 
Your mouth as you 
Stuttered.

As you learnt to 
Understand.
Ideas that came 
Your way.
Many got crushed 
In your mental clutter.

As you wrote 
And painted.
The characters that 
Ended up on 
The wrong side of 
The papers. 

The pens you've 
Lost. The pages 
You've torn. 
To teach you 
Step by step, 
The bricks that 
Have died. 

All those 
Martyred things 
Deserve, 
More mourning.

Perhaps with
Few roses and 
Extra daisies. 
And few lines of 
Poetic eulogies.
