Infinite Epitaph

For the one before
During
And after
This place

The world breathed
Into you
And some time later
Sucked it straight out

You lived each day
Or died
Laughing, loving
Lamenting, loathing

People were fortunate
To have known you
Or regretted
Ever learning your name

You left behind
A treasure trove of memories
Or an empty space
In a quiet room

They put you down deep
Made you into a statue
Burned you away
Ripped you into halves

No one will forget
Everyone won’t remember
I can’t do either
For I knew and didn’t know you
