Did you ever wonder
What it would be like to be
Gone?
To
Disappear
From all vision and all sense
To
Vanish
Into thin air?
To feel your hands dissolve
As clouds
And your vision grow opaque
To collapse in mid air as a
Vapor
Mist
And your eyes fuse into the sky
And
Stars?
To be omitted in the halls
Your name never heard again
Recognized only as
Space
Void
Marblesque breath of time
Synergy of nothing
I know what it is
To
Exist as such
A snapshot in the drawer of someone's mind
Just as you know...
For I have disappeared to
No one... except
Yourself.
You, who have
Deciphered how to go about
Forgetting me into a
Mirror pane of someone who is
Gone.
