Me, Myself, and Everybody Else

As Blame Lies Waiting

I wait in

Dread

For the day I know

Will come

For the day I will hear

That she who was not the

Closest or

The farthest is

Gone

Gone into a world

That I cannot follow

And cannot understand

Until my own time

Comes

Gone because she is, was, might always be

Foolish

Gone and leaving behind the role of

Sister, cousin, daughter

Mother

Gone and leaving her daughter

Alone, to fend for herself

In a world she must learn to understand

Gone without so much as a

Goodbye

Because she believes

Shis is invincible, untouchable

And she will be the

Only one who

Never saw it

As it truly was

Gone

Because she was

Wrong, and

Because I

Could not save her
