Closures

Have you ever noticed

how people slowly and gradually

stop talking about someone

dear to them post their death?

 

Have you noticed

how everything only holds

the shadow of deceased,

collapses to mere clouds of dust?

 

Have you noticed

how people stop mentioning

about them in their thoughts,

and carry out on their lives?

 

Have you noticed

how their memories limit

to the only family get together

or social gatherings?

 

Have you noticed

how we chase the reflection,

of them in emotional film scenes

or tragic dramas?

 

I have noticed

because I could not get over them.

I could not get over the feeling of guilt,

when I had said all those hurtful words,

but could no snatch a chance to say sorry.

 

I never got a chance to say

how much they mean to me,

how much I miss them,

How many strings are attached,

and lastly because

I could never say them goodbye.

 

Goodbyes are difficult but

Closures are important,

rather than hanging on one tiny finger,

it is better to let it go

once and for all.
