i didn't know you up close
and yet your smile being gone
shattered me to pieces
no blood, and yet we were.
i couldn't help but think of the irony
it felt undeserved and disrespectful
and yet it brought me comfort
knowing that your joy
would have wanted the smiles
i do not wish to be disingenuous
i am not one to say many things
but with every laugh
with every laugh i'll stop
i'll think and i'll add a little more joy
a second laugh, a second smile
i'll think of what the world is now missing
with no intent to fill the gap
but with every intent to remember
to remember that life is precious
life is gentle
and life will go
may you rest in peace.
