We never saw you cry

No one felt your pain

Now an empty office chair

Yawns sad and alone

That desolate workplace plain

 

No one really cared

Or even gave a damn

The day they sent you packing

A sordid sacrifical lamb

 

The office has an erie silence now

At last your stain has gone

Be careful what you wish for

Scorn is not so easy now

 

In a lonesome hell

You played the final scenes

No one heard you crying

Not even now they give a damn!

What can you say when someone you knew dies alone?  I keep going back to the times I knew this person.  Now I can never make amends.

So sad, I read the other poem first but now see that that tells of the haunting presence of a missing colleague.

Really sad. There's a feeling of regret, too , I think. At least someone cared - then wrote this lovely, atmospheric poem.
