You seen me on the table
You saw the dirt pilled on
Did you wander to places?
Wishing to get a glimpse
Hoping to see me standing there
You know I have departed
You saw the dirt pilled on
Did you wish things went differently?
Is there anything you wish to say?
If you believed I could hear it
You know I have gone
You watched the dirt tossed on
You heard the nice words people said
But I think you were angry
As the marble saints stared aimlessly
You know in your heart
I didn’t want to be in this dirt
I told you once that I loved you
I never changed my mind
Ashes should have been placed
You know I am gone
You heard the dirt one shovel at a time
I seen your memories flash to all those places
Even to those few happy times
Before all that grime
Do you still wander to those times?
Do you still look up and see me there
Do wish to say a few words
If you thought I could hear
Waiting here listening to the wind
You know I am gone
You should have moved on
Even before the dirt pilled on me
Do you ever see my face in your dreams?
Wishing things would have ended differently
If you believed there was another way
You know I am gone
You seen the dirt piled on
It has been five years now
I am have faded to dust
Do you see that stranger?
With my features on
Thinking there is nothing more to say.

The story behind this Poem is that of a person who lost a loved one, he wonders for a time to the same places that they once frequented hope beyond hope to get one last glimpse. The living person runs into the same people including family members who are going through the same emotions but wish to be alone in their loss. Now imagine if the person that has passed away could somehow communicate with the living here and now and what that conversation would be like.
