She’s been in multiple accidents,

This time it was fatal.

Was it speeding or an alcoholic beverage?

Or perhaps a text that got her?

Questions swarm my mind, desperate for answers.

Regret makes an appearance as well.

Why didn’t I do this? I should’ve done that.

Everything I should’ve done, but didn’t.

Here one moment, gone the next.

A woman’s life taken away.

Only a bruised, stiff corpse left

In the backroom of the funeral hiome

Tear-stained cheeks and shaky breaths,

Everyone mourns

To everyone she was different,

A co-worker, sister, daughter, wife, a mother.

All black filled with grief

No smiles, condolences spread.

I sit in the front row,

A full view of memories.

A strong woman she was,

Fierce like a lion, clever as a fox.

She was an ideal role model

A goddess on Earth

But one day, far, far, far in the

Future I know I’ll be in her presence again.
