Grief


I saw a woman walking
Without legs
Mam, are you aware that you're no longer here?
Puzzled
What do you mean no longer here?
Paused...

Are you aware that you're dead?
Smile
I have been, for a very long time
Tears
Then why are you still sad?
I'm crying for the people I've left behind
I've died only once,
but they, they die thousands of time
each and every time they think of me....

Thanks for reading gurlz. Just putting the things i see into words.
Sometimes there are things that are so subliminal, it moves you to the core. these are the things that make words absolutely necessary ;)
