Not Now Dead

Do I wish you dead,

rather than merely dying?

You see, if you were gone

now, oh now,

not remaining then,

not here at a future time,

with lasting misery,

it would be no longer.

It could be

gone, gone, gone,

and I should have time

once the gravity of grieving

had become something that was

then, then, then

rather than

now, now, now.

often, we cannot stand to see the suffering of someone close, and when the now becomes the then and the gone...we feel that person is better off...
The inevitable is bound to happen...and it is no picnic to have to suffer any longer than necessary.
I like how this was worded...almost like an avoidance of the pain.
or an attempt.

Must say, Jacob, that I usually enjoy your comments. Thank you very much for spending some time on them.
