This is in memory,
Of that person,
I used to be.
I pay tribute,
To the vibrant soul,
The one,
You used to know.
Let’s just face it,
He’s gone forever.
Forever nonexistent.
Forever, never.

And what he leaves behind,
Resembles a shell,
Or maybe a layer of skin.
I just can’t tell.
Hollow.
and
Empty.
Forever and ever.
Perpetually never.

I dare not complain,
At least part of me,

Remains.
