Death

By Eric Y. Theriault

People
don't realize
until it is much too late
until a friend has passed
what the word death
really means.
A friend whom you see always
is viewed as someone who'll be there always
but once they aren't,
everyone thinks of them
for a day or two
and their remembrances,
as those before them,
slowly fades away.
