Quicksilver poetry

Who will write the obituary

For the lost soul,

The one that hid from the world

Any truth of identity?

Too many times when

Hands stretched forth,

They were smacked away

Feelings pulled astray.

Lies, they called,

Sure that the truth denied.

So who writes the obituary,

When no one saw the truth

In what was said?

  1. The friends are shocked
    The family are confused
    The co-workers disbelieve
    The teachers cannot explain
    The preacher recites the prayers
    “She always said she was fine.”
    “He seemed so happy.”
    “How could we have known?”
    The lines were there
    Waiting to be read between.
