Gone

1 hour
60 minutes
3600 seconds and they give up,
They've done all they can do and all of the pain, love, sorrow, and joy you've ever experienced is gone,
It's irrelevant
You think about that ugly yellow sweater you cursed yourself for wearing when you were 5 and laugh about how fragile life is as you look down at yourself sprawled out naked and vulnerable on a table crowded by complete strangers,
Just one last contraction of a few muscle fibers and every tear you've ever cried, every laugh you've ever shared, and every time you've lied awake at night pondering the meaning of life is...
gone
