How would you feel if you knew someone for a month and then they died.

I barely knew you,

Yet I wept like a baby,

When I heard you died.

It toppled my world.

You were all I could think about,

For months.

I couldn’t,

Wrap my head around it.

You would think,

I had known you,

Your whole life,

With the way I acted,

But I didn’t.

I barely knew you a month.

I guess you stuck with me,

Because I never want someone,

To suffer,

And you did,

In silence.

Which is the worst way.

I am so sorry you suffered.

I’m sorry you died,

But I barely knew you.

I hope that you are free.
