Walking to a Funeral

All the people walk down the street

Go into the shops

Go to work

Go about their lives as usual

And none of them know me

I walk among them

But no one knows how I feel

I wonder if anyone knew you

Knew you in your life

Or know about your death

I wonder if I’m the only one

Walking around

Barely conscious

As I think about you

Walking to a funeral

It is filled with so much pain

Looking around at all those smiles

All the children, full of life

And then thoughts come back to you

And all the life around me

Reminds me of how your life,

The one that really mattered,

Is gone.
