Significance (POEM)
Significance
Why have you left me here all alone?
Only ripples in a pond left,
A word on the tip of my tongue,
A thought almost remembered,
I call out for you, are you dead?
No answer only silence,
Everything is deathly still,
I wait to feel your breath,
I scream to break the silence.
My scream is swallowed.
No sound reaches my ears.
What should I do?
I throw myself to the floor.
I am having a tantrum like a child.
I kick and scream and writhe in agony.
Still it does not break the silence.
I am desperate,
I sigh in frustration.
The sound rattles the ground.
Buildings crumble into dust.
The noise is deafening.

We never know the significance we have to another person. We never know what our actions may bring about. But everything we do, think, see, feel has significance to someone.
