stain

sitting alone looking back
this thing called life
realizing my mistake
to late I was already dead
nothing left no one to care
no one to call me father
the cradle is bare
no one to miss me
nobody to pass on my legacy
my treasure
the memory of me
a blink of the eye
is all we have
a blink to create a blink to live
wipe a tear from the watering eye
and you have missed it
time has passed you by
a blink of the eye to stain time
with the memory
of you
say do you remember
what was his name
the stain grows fainter
till there's nothing left that was you
waiting forever
waiting in vain
waiting for somebody to remember
the stain that was you
nobody to
plant a flower
cut back a weed
a cold stone stained by time
mocking you
mimicking the blink of a eye
the stain that was
you

what a moving poem. I felt like I was fading into nothingness which each line I read. very poignant.
