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
