Death and Beyond

Reaching out for memories,

I sink into my mind, but find only pain

Curtains part, inside my head

Happy times lie hidden deep

Among life’s ruins,

Ravaged by the recent past

Death comes, also to those who seek it

I’m sure I did not see it coming

Didn’t you know there were other answers?

Is life better where you are now? Simpler?

Or, could it be,

That you regret a move you can’t undo?

Lobsters, no crabs, we chased and quartered

Only when I wasn’t chaperoning the two of you

But, you can’t hold that against me

Occasionally, that’s what big sisters do
