only exist in memory

what is it like to die
to be wiped from existence
dont you always wonder
as i seen when a friend
deleted herself from myspace
it is like dying never to be

as she did her photo became
a photo of this person did not
upload a picture just a blank
she did this in the morning
by the late afternoon
she was a deleted red X

all the messages i saved
from her become garbage
poems i wrote to her and
all her comments all the
comments on my profile
disappeared from existence

if i were to go to farm fresh
and she were no longer there
and they had never heard of her
that is how she died from myspace
i no longer have a memory of her
would you die like that

it dont seem that is the way
cause people have memories
of your existence right now
as i surf my friends spaces
i found photos of her on theirs
proving her existence right now

but what of in 50 years
what of in hundred years
memories fade as people die
as other friends delete from lyfe
their existence disappears
as will as my friends existence

how would you ever know
that i existed if the memories
all the memories are wiped
the total existence from this
the giant computer of our existence

i hated to see my friend go
but it became worst
when her existence there
also disappeared

my comment was delete, so thought I'd type another from what I remember..sorry. I still get the comparisons. I said thinkers and wonderers are the creation of poets, GREAT POETS, You are a great poet. Keep thinking and you will go far, far past just Virginai, like me a fellow Virginian, kudos
