i am those you love,

i am those you lost,

those you won’t give up,

no matter the cost.

i am those who hurt,

those who hurt you.

not to cause pain,

so you feel as we do.

those who flicker lights,

who closed the doors,

those you will grieve,

those you had adored.

those who you miss,

ones you pray for.

i am those you hold,

i, who left you torn.

we, who left you crying,

those who dug that hole.

those who are gone,

who left you less than whole.

do not miss us too much

we are here at your side.

even if not now,

we’ll be in the next life.
