Poems
May 2014
Here
50 years old
An age you'd forever dread
If only you were here
To actually experience it
Because at least you'd be experiencing something
Instead of being gone
Cremated into nothing
A bracelet worn on my wrist
Yet still a memory
I'm willing to relive
The pain was so great
But at least it'd be something
At least you were still here
Dying but here
And that's all the comfort I need
In a hospital bed but here
In a daze but still here
Gasping for air but still here
What I would give
To have you still here
