You did not cry for me.

You did not cry for me as you slipped away
into that slumber with no awakening
but I cried
we all did
I cried for you, for me, for all of us left behind.
We cried for what was, had been and all
the would have beens
of your life.

You did not cry for us as you drifted to sleep
as you moved to that other space in time
no tears, no pain exist there.
But, oh, how we cried for you.
For the sad loss
of your wonderful loving company,
your beloved face and kind smile.
