You’re dead

I get it

No returnsies

The show must go on

You always whispered

“You’re awesome”

But I couldn’t hear

Didn’t listen

You smiled

Arms folded

Eyes twinkling

Waiting for it

Only I never got it

Not soon enough

Then the numbness died

Like you

It had no food, you see

My eyes saw

Finally

I was awesome

You’re still dead

And I’m still here

Being awesome

I would be anything for you
