Not One

When life

 Is not cherished
When death

 Is unnoticeable
When time

 Is taken
When pain

 Is self inflicted
 

Icarus fell and is ignored
    The world rotates
Without

 Remembering
Without

 Caring
Without

 Speaking

Eternal separation

    from earth
And not one

Raises a voice
 Of the tragedy

Befallen

 Sorrow

Is not felt
 Mourning

Is not occurring
 Weeping

Is absent
As they shed

  Not one tear

For a given life
For a chosen death


For a suicide
