Death is final

Death is final
at least, there's no evidence its not
no
despite dreams & wishes
there's a departure
death is a closed door
SOLID
it won't budge
I feel sad for people knocking on that door
tapping
hoping
tap-tap-wait
tap-tap-wait
there's no response coming
and there never will be
from death's door
one just has to walk away
maybe studying the sidewalk
noticing every last cigarette butt
every last tossed styrofoam cup
I'm so sorry she's alone now...
