Never knew

 

I never knew you

or what you were going through.

But everyone leaves a mark,

something written on a page

of this earth, once we leave the stage.

We leave something of us,

a piece of our heart,

it lingers in the atmosphere,

amongst the universal dust.

 

I never knew you

but sadness is my feeling.

Trying to collect all the mental shards

from smashed glass brain facades.

Something missing

from the world.

The poems that won't be written.

The songs that won't be sung.

 

I never knew you

we had mutual friends.

But a person leaves so much behind in the end.

The feeling is sadness,

it's praying that happiness follows.

Knowing that those who held you close

are now struggling to find hope.

Wanting to be there to hold out a hand

for those that are not able to cope.
