The Conviction of Deprivation

Life,
is not fair
or maybe it's
death

Deprivation
from ones we love
sorrow is it's
present

Sickness
in our minds
our bodies not in good
health

Bothersome
are the days
but the memories serve us 
pleasant

Unsafe
thoughts cross the brain
by knowing you those thoughts are 
Stealth

Conviction
painful with you gone
remembrance is the
penchant
