09-27-16 Life Is Fast

We spoke yesterday
Now suddenly you're gone

In the blink of an eye
On the brink of life
From birth to death
Or everywhere inbetween 

We learn to walk
We learn to love
We learn to work 
We learn to die

Only alive in photos
and in my memories

trying to remember 
the sound of your voice

Every day it's 
business as usual
wake up early
work your ass off

Holidays next month
Bills due next week
Frozen dinner again
Forgot to pick up milk

All those jokes he told 
She never finished her book
You still have to fix the car

Your fresh green plant
Sitting on the window
In unlimited sunlight
But after you left
No one watered it
Now it's all dried up

We spoke yesterday 
Now suddenly you're gone
