Death misses you.
I waited, patient and compassionately.
You sent many gifts of your devotion,
And I humbly admired you from afar.
Never did you let me close enough,
So I loved your gifts with the same passion I had for you.
Some frightened,
Some hopeful and filled with smiles.
I guided each and every one of them.
I comforted them,
And got to know every intricate detail that shaped their soul.
My heart,
Always so full after guiding every gift
That you created.
But I wish
I had you.
