Death that you keep

Whenever you mourn

I miss you, I miss you all the time,

I miss you in the night, and when the sunshines,

I miss you when it rains, and when snows,

I miss you when it boring, and when the wind blows,

I miss you every time I breathe in heavy, and breathe lightly,

I miss you every day, each one even more slightly,

I miss you when I say your name, and even when I blink,

I miss you every time I get a second to think,

I miss you with every atom in my body, and in reverse,

I miss you with every atom in the f*****g universe,

I miss you so much that it hurts, it kills me, 

To know that you don't miss me, you're gone so easily,

You don't feel pain, and you don't know that you're gone,

How awful is it, that you've peacefully left, how wrong,

I am left behind to hoard these empty tears for you,

When you don't even know, or have the slightest clue,

You lay so quiet, so at peace, I hope that you're asleep,

But, the darkness and the pain knows that it's death that you keep.

Oh you just feel the pain layered right through this poem, also the frustration and wanting. There's never any answers in death, just lots of endless questions. Great write.

[William Liston]

This is a sad poem that anyone who has endured the pain of losing someone special can relate to. When that happens, that feeling of loss occurs all the time, or as this poem says, "when the sun shines," "when it rains," "when the wind blows," etc... it's like everything reminds you of the one you've lost. It's a terrible feeling, but we just have to keep an optimistic mind and move on with our lives--can't stay in the past forever. Thanks for sharing this piece.
