You don’t matter
Nor do I
All breath is gone
For just one sigh

The steps you took
The world ignores
Yet why is it?
Your life adores

The simple child’s
Way of thought
The times you laughed
Or’d rather not

Such brief a time
Is yours to claim
A’ fears the crime
Of lost years blamed

But stranger still
The ageless bet
For but few man
Has to regret.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
