Anniversary

I know he’s here, watching

Looking through the veil seeing

He’s seen everything I’ve done

Just as I’ve seen what he did

I know I shouldn’t have tried

But the only way I knew how

To deal with how I felt

Was to follow him wherever he went

But we are alone not two

Many but none who are kissed by death

I….blinked and he didn’t

Not all of them do

So I write now to escape

In a way he never could

In an effort to convey my lack

Of grief when there should be some

So I will weep when the time comes

And I will yearn for the end

But not before my time

I will depart when there is nothing else for me
