death

Why did you leave me?

You left me.

You left us.

You left the world.

Everything is upside down.

It’s all a blur.

Can’t remember who bought that mug.

It’s an ugly mug.

But it was with us for 20 years.

Bah humbug!

The bugs are biting.

I spray the coldness.

The burn is still there.

There is no rhyme or reason.

Except there is.

The world keeps spinning.

But you’re long gone.

The ship sits still.

I’ve got no oars.

I just have emotions.

And, those may be too raw.

Yet, I keep rowing.

Sheer will-power.

But I’m tired.

Why did you go?
