Where Were You Then?

Now you bring me flowers, soft and sweet,
Place them gently at my feet.
You whisper words you never said,
Now that I am cold and dead.

You weep and tremble by my stone,
But I once sat and wept alone.
I reached for hands that never came,
You only visit now—too late, with shame.

You post my name in mournful praise,
But where were you in my living days?
When silence wrapped around my room,
You never came to chase the gloom.

You say you loved me, missed my light—
But never checked if I was all right.
Now here you stand, all dressed in black,
But I won’t be there to answer back.

Don’t cry for me when I am gone,
It’s not this grave I waited on.
I needed you when breath still stayed—
Not now, beneath the earth I’ve laid.

So keep your flowers, save your tears,
Where were you all those empty years?
Love me while I still can see—
Not only in your memory.

Auntie Florie,
