Someday 
there won’t be two of us, 
the other one left behind 
to sweep up the ashes, 
and make sense of the dust,
sign the forms
and close out things
that we must.

Some of my friends, 
older wiser, bolder
have climbed these 
barren walls before 
with the view so stark 
and night so dark
and a partner never more.

They strive to 
breathe new life 
as they try 
to put their world 
in motion once again,

A new refrain
on a lonely life
where suddenly 
they were hurled.

How did they manage
without that partner, 
shuffling from room to room 
combing through a
cobweb of memories
as each room grows darker.

How do they maintain 
a zest for life, 
when the person they loved
is no longer there, 
the constant strife
of a life now laid bare,

Without that one
to help them 
through the struggle of days
and mounds of things 
that have to be done.

Someday there won't be 
a you and I, 
just one of us looking around 
for a sign from the sky
the ghost of the other, 
helping us to get by,

And one of us
still having to try,
to make some sense 
of what time remains.
