The Things They Did Not Say
"The LORD giveth and HE taketh," they say
No one said that your space will be left to decay
None can fill it
Some are too short or too small
Very docile or just too tall
They did not say that you would hover
around the stain of your lipstick on my drawer
It's earned its place
Like a badge of honor
on a dead hero's dirt stained door
They did not say that you would remain
To lace our sweet memories with plain pain
I stare at your photo
Swimming in moments of your quirky smile
and hilarious mishmash of colors called "style"
You may not be part of the living
But you are thriving, sometimes watching
Behind that invisible veil
Of course, they will not say that
