Analysis of nothing left



space and time
past the point
of non belief
to nothingness

that's what he thought
'i am agnostic' he said after
his brother killed
himself
years later 'i am
an atheist'  

after
'she kicked me to the curb'
his wife

into a trashcan
waiting to be picked up
on Friday at 3

what a lost soul
where was the attraction
i think no
WHERE?
how could i lose
time
with a worm not a man

then i find out
he is dead.
the obit so much
praise so little
t r u t h

walking i felt
his presence disturbing
my thoughts

surprised you were so wrong?
about so much

now you want
even more:
my prayers

you don't deserve

later in bed
i feel your parents
in my thoughts

trying to help you seek
my forgiveness
forgetting that
hardened hearts are healed with time
eternal
into nothingness
