How Careless

How did the air leave so quietly and carelessly from your lungs?
What stopped your heart and let your blood pool in mottled patterns on your skin?
Why did you leave us standing agape at the fragility of life?
So we stayed and you left
And we tidied, and we boxed things all up
And it's 7 years now
We have a whole generation, who only knows you through your photos
How careless of you, not to stay and meet them
How careless of you, not to keep your heart beating
How careless of you, not to keep breathing
How careless to step out of this life with no warning
