When I am no longer here
Will you miss me?
How long will it take you to realise I have gone?
Like an imprint in the sand,
Water will wash over and erase the memory
When I am no longer here
How quickly will you fill the void?
A cup of tea and some biscuits should do it
Must hurry along now
Have a very busy schedule dontcha know?
When I am no longer here
Will you breathe a sigh of relief?
As though an irritant has been removed
That perturbed the oyster
And a sense of contentment ensues
When I am no longer here
Will you regret having known me?
Was I a waste of resources?
That took the place of a deserving soul
Of that, I will never know

ReplyDeleteOh dear - sorry to read this post and to think that this might be about you? Surely not? We are all each and every one of us of value in the world coming as we do with our many and various attributes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect little raindrop on that leaf.
ReplyDeleteThose words make me sad, everyone has someone who would miss them.

Heart wrenching writing Simone, I think we all feel that 'why are we here' feeling sometimes even the most confident of us, I know I often question myself. I hope if these words reflect how you are feeling at the moment, that you will be reassured that you would be missed very much by those that love you. As Lisa (above) says everyone has someone who would miss them, take carexxxx
ReplyDeleteVery melancholy indeed, Simone, but beautifully written. Take care, my friend.xx
ReplyDeleteI am very sure you would be missed if you were gone.
ReplyDeleteOnce again you've touched us, Simone. How could your photo be more lovely? Black and white speaks volumes.
ReplyDeleteHow perfectly chosen your words are. How blessed we are to be a part of this technological connection which allows me to reach out and pull you into a group hug. You have captured in just a few short verses what each of us ponders at times. You are not alone. We are here. Your fibers are inextricably woven into my self tapestry., today and forever.
Sending you love for a brighter week ahead.
Love and light and fresh lift to dear, irreplaceable you:)
ReplyDeleteYou are thoroughly loved and seen and safe and
altogether beautiful.
And you write so tenderly and well of the aloneness we sometimes
feel.
Thanks for being such a brave and brilliant soul:)
