Words
I can't think of any words
to say that could express
or de-emphasize
what I feel against
our mortality.
Out of the world
they took you early,
I guess it's not our choice
on who God can't wait to see,
even in his timeless eyes.
One moment
builds on the next
until we have a day,
and each one can change
the next million.
I can't pretend
and I feel so selfish
because I feel like I'm taking part
in a horrid game of
competitive mourning,
but it's hard to do
anything else
but stare into space
and try to remember.
If I saw you right now,
I don't know what I'd say.
When I see you,
I'm not sure I'll ever know
what to say.
