Don't laugh at my attempt at poetry I used to write all the time but its been a really really really really really long time. I'm actually kind of embarrassed to share this, lmao! Its dumb.

Don't miss me. (Formerly titled "Don't Grieve".)

I watch you put the phone down
I watch you take a shaky breath
You look at me with tears in your eyes
I know you think your planning my death.

Although it hurts to do so
I push unsteadily to my feet
I slowly make my way to you
And rest my head upon your knee.

I look into your loving face
And hope that you can see
My body is old and weak
And I'm ready to be set free.

I will you to remember
The times not so long ago
When we ran. And laughed. And Loved.
And never thought of the end.

Give me peace
My dearest friend
Let me lie here in your arms
Hold me close as I cross the bend
And join those so bright stars.


I will wait for you there
On the other side
Where you may always find me
Only so far as your heart.

Just remember my dearest love
We are never far apart
So when I'm gone don't miss me
I'm only so far as your heart.
