Death waits kindly

Death waits kindly
Like a sneeze that stops your heart
While everyone’s downstairs laughing
Waiting for you to come back from the bathroom

Your last breath
Didn’t even have a name or number
It left, turned around
And realized no one was there

The warmth which was you
Disappeared like a vapor
On the tail of your spirit
No one heard leave

And when we realized you were gone
Something stopped
And we got stuck in it
Backed up without you
