Dissapearances

Sisters and brothers taken away
People do disappear
Diseases spread faster than we can assimilate
Memories remain
Loss fades away with time
But the need remains
Loss becomes bearable
Pain becomes bearable
But the need, the need endures life
We are not given the choice
We are given
We love
We suffer
We presumably hate
We are taken away
We suffocate
We are expected to survive
Without them
And we do
But we do not forget
