Always Full

When you died, I was the last to know.

You lived on in my mind and soul.

You were a force that could not simply go.

Your memory was enough to keep me whole.

 

I grasp your casket,

Had all my eggs in one basket.

I didn't fear the fall,-

nor time stopping still

I could not hope to see over that hill|

To see that life without you is a slow crawl.

 

Your body rots with my soul.

You have died and left only no.

You were once all -- but now are a hole.

When I breathe again, your memory will go.
