Fading Away Forever

I think of you
As I walk through the
graveyard
My fingers brushing the
cold marble
Tracing the words
inscribed there:

Life’s too short
To waste time grieving
To be selfish and
inconsiderate
To make mistakes
So stop and take a look
around
Take a deep breath
Today’s the day you
change your life

I recite them over and
over in my head
Unable to stop the
tears now
Letting them cascade
down my cheeks
Falling freely through
the harsh December
cold
Leaving splash marks
on the cold stone
beneath me
Too soon they shall
fade
Just like you

If life was too short to
make mistakes
Why didn’t that stop
you?
