Death... (Food For Thought?)

Death...

It's such an unusual thing.

Bringing people together,

Bringing back memories,

and bringing out tears.

 

Death...

What a funny feeling it gives.

To those closest,

To those furthest,

and those in between.

 

Death...

We all have to face it someday.

Nobody can say,

When you will,

When I will.

 

Death...

It makes you think of all you've done.

To those of past,

Those of present,

and not yet affected.

 

Death...

How does it influence your life?

Notes

I wrote this after thinking about a girl from way back in middle school that died about a year ago. I realized that I was kind of a **** to her way back then, it really made me sad to think about because what it made me wonder if I somehow affected her life negatively (she didn't commit suicide so don't get that idea). This one immediately became one of my favorites that I've written.
