Never ever leave me again

You are locked away
Behind sea
And the wreck of an airplane
Behind masses of bloody bodies
Part incinerated
Part decomposing in the hot sun

I could never reach you in time
If I had a warning
It would be all over
Mobile phone or not
A world of data
At our fingers
Could not save you

You are inaccessable
If you are by me
Now a hundred fold now
You are away
Your life
Your children sledgehammered
Into safe zones and red tape

Slapped behind steel doors
Reinforced
Buried under mounds of
Concrete
You had no grave
No burial ceremony

Honey
Baby
My sweet baby girl
Come home safe
Call me when you can
I'll text you in the meantime

Mobile phone or nots... I read this as knots with the reference to the sea. Would maybe, mobile phone or not, make it easier to read? This is beautiful, I can only imagine what it would be like to lose a love one in a disaster. The ending is really touching.
