The World doesn't stop for death,
Death doesn't stop the world,
I always thought it would.

I always thought everyone would know,
I thought everyone would realize,
That someone was gone.

I thought you could feel the loss.

But that isn't so.

The world keeps working,
shopping,
talking,
laughing,
even when someone has died.

They can't all feel the void,
There was never a part of them touched,
They cannot miss what they never had.

I wish they would,
Then I would feel better.

Or, maybe I wouldn't.
