Unimportant

Another name unnoticed
In the pages of this book
Another face forgotten
Without a second look

Another novel unpublished
Left to be unread
Another poem unwritten
Left to be unsaid

Another life is wasted
In these few short years
Another pain is hidden
Despite the flow of tears

Another number erased
One less call to make
Another address forgotten
One less drive to take

Another love grown cold
Left to wither away
Another friendship gone
In the passing of a day
