that nothing else is real if you are gone.

a masterwork of art.”

a little too aware, I fear;
and yet, neither are you quite gone,
despite the truth that you’ve passed on.

stilled ones that slept with you under the ground.
Deep wounds that went unnoticed by their absence,
well-buried until anguish lost was found.
