Piece by piece
part by part
each memory a
part of a whole

a whole that is
falling apart
each time to think
of someone lost

A part gone
to the dark
a dark of alone

alone in the dark
all gone once known
now gone into the
dark of ...

just gone. Barely
remembered now, but
once a life loved.

But now just pieces
fragments of a whole
that was loved
known and missed
slowly going
going gone into
the darkness of
I am not sure
just gone.

Missed and cold
cold and apart
from the whole
of us, friends
lovers, or just
family but all
missed. some
longed for, loved
lusted after
or just smiles
