A Whisper of Life

Do you want to know the secrets
Of a poet in her bed?
Then reach down and take the brain
From her pailing head.
Kiss her lips, take a thought;
Think of the laughter it once brought.
Laughing and crying a time or two,
This person was once thought-
To have a loose screw.
Now the only thought that shall remain
Was how she was left behind
Time and time again.
Lying there dead,
A whisper to you,
Always forgotten,now her life
is through.
