In memorium

 Today I think of the people who can’t bear the sight of you

Whilst I mount your picture on my wall

Today I think of the people that would find it unbearable

That face, those eyes, they couldn’t take it at all

I marvel at the suddenness

Find myself lost in semblances of moments of it all

You are gone but your pictures

Litter the highway of the web, interwoven over countries and time zones

You are staring back at it all

Almost as though you were here and there and everywhere, somehow within it all

That picture on my wall,

So suddenly becomes forlorn

So I delete it, remove it, unfriend and unfollow it all

Say a final prayer and close myself to it all

For the sake of those who knew you

And can’t bear the sight of you

I shall un-mount the picture on my wall

And they can see you as you were

When they want to and are not forced to, stare at the picture on my wall.
