You Died Today by Jane Ayers Sweat

 You died today

But nobody knew

Your body stayed in form

Only I remained here

Battered by the storm.

There was only me to grieve

A loss that felt like Death

No one else felt the pain

That cut into my Soul

And ever will remain.

The world has not stopped turning

Though I badly want it to

A loss this tragic

Can only be felt

By we two.

I wish you well on your journey 

That you must take alone.

Perhaps, some day, 

You'll remember a place

You once called Home.
