I'm sorry that I didn't care
But now that I see you in death depart
It turned on a light switch inside of my heart
For now where was once shrowded in dark
Fire is burning, and you lit the spark
For now that I see you no money no breath

Humble In Death

Topic: Grief

I'm sorry for not being there
I'm sorry that I didn't care
But now that I see you in death depart
It turned on a light switch inside of my heart
For now where was once shrowded in dark
Fire is burning, and you lit the spark
For now that I see you no money no breath
You were simple in life, and humble in death

this poem is somewhat confusing in that the person "wasn't there", but you use the phrase "in death depart," like it was your spouse. interseting however

That last line is what really got me. It was the perfect line to end the poem with and i really liked it.

This is a powerfuil little poem. I... too... like the last line. That's the line that packs the punch and brings the whole poem into focus. We should be there more in the living years for those we love. I know I'm gulity of that too! Good job!
By the way... shrowed... should be spelled... shrouded.
Love... hugs...
