Re-write of "Because I Couldn't Stop for Death" by Emily Dickinson

I never could stop to die,

So it did it for me;

Slowly one by one they left,

All gone.

It was a slow walk down,

No one could stop it;

The work and laughter gone,

Silent once more.

Passing the streets where we stood,

So proud and so strong;

The abandoned warehouses holding creatures,

It seemed so wrong.

The lockers were cold as ice,

Taking my breath away too;

The depth and height n'ver ending,

Deep beneath the dirt.

One by one all them gone,

But the one I mourn;

She was immortal as I for'ver,

As I lived.
