I Could Not Stop For Death


When left with but a memory and vagueness of the your tone
My eyes can only but water at the thought that you are gone
You asked if I was sleeping, maybe in hopes that you could to
Now you are the one who is sleeping, and I who wishes to join you

“I could not stop for death
So he kindly stopped for me”
And took away my friend
But placed her in eternity

He may have hung his head
And regretted what he had to do
Did so with this softest touch
But the fact remains true

There is a hollow in heart
Pseudo occupied with sadness and grief not only for us
“I could not stop for death”
So he kindly left me Justice

In loving memory of Trish

this is a complex read and I'll have to come back to it, but my first read is of sadness and terminal feelings.
