Nothingness was the reply I got
When I asked how they felt, a simple thought
My heart sank as they spoke
Their words so plain, so cold, no joke
\"Why?\" I asked, so confused
Their faces, so pale and unused
They had left this life long ago
Their response was buried deep below
Silence, the only response I received
Their words lost, never to be retrieved
Left with unanswered questions, I mourn
As I stand before their dark, gloomy bourn.
