as he slowly died

they told him
he could not imagine
how much it hurt
to see him die

they told him
he did not understand
how his death
changed their lives

they told him
he could not fathom
how difficult loving him
was

and one day he died
content in the knowledge
that they would at least
remember him
for the wasteland
he left behind.
