people laughing
kids dancing
and making happy noises

it gets under my skin
as it does not feel right
for people to take up so much space
where you left a gaping hole

we should all be quiet
and take a moment off

I wish an hourglass
could stop its sand

I wish a clock
could stop its ticking

I wish I could go back to a moment
when you weren't gone

why do all these people just move on?
