Remind me of my mortality

Exist where death has walked

Take up unknown, empty spaces

Behind doors that are locked


Hide the things I lock away

In the dark spots of my room

Hold the stars up in the sky

As I stare up at the moon

This poem is meant to shed light on different reactions to loss. Death is a heavy subject, and it can hit people hard. Some people use the time for rememberance, while, for others, it is an uncertain time.
