When I think about tomorrow
I see a wailing family forced to suffer the randomness that comes with death
A house filled with grief
And a family in constant denial
I see conversations left unfinished
Dreams left unfulfilled
Ideas left unused
And a bucket list left unchecked
I see a distant memory
In the jokes made, tears shed, poems written and lives touched
I see a dreaded day
With a road we all must cross
And everyone learns to live without me
To turn into an illusion of my once sad but happy existence
A day that starts and ends without me
