It was sunny and bright

Bright enough to make you blind

Bright enough to see your kind, refined eyes

The night glowed with stars

Each one and it’s constellations

Made me wonder how I can fill the empty spaces

The spaces between you and me

never grow apart

You were a bandage to my soul’s broken heart

I thought this would last forever

Leaving my thoughts to endeavor my heart’s desire

My heart bursts into a wicked fire

When I’m standing next to you

I too, want to see how far this will go  

But then, in a blink of a quick eye

before I could see,

I hear breathing stop as you leave the remaining pieces of me

I blurringly watched as they put you into the ground

I listen to the sound of everyone’s whispering prayers

My lace black dress was soaked with water

My disguise disappears into my insecure complexion

My hands long for your staggering touch

following my mind’s confusing directions

The sky’s heavens grew into a blood red

The clouds started turning black as your funeral

Lighting strikes the old glass bottles

slashing memories of us, leaving huge marks

As all the fire’s rays turned from yellow to dark

The beauty of the roses slowly start to age and wither

Green grass was turning brown

The waters of the sea pours out of its pot and boils

into the cup of the world

leaving you to drown in swirls of forgotten feelings of rapturous

The wind whistles through the trees

blowing everything in it’s path

But it was only the beginning of the aftermath  

I fall to my knees due to my weakness

My hair flew above me

tangled in millions of different directions

I was beginning to feel tired and I

faded to blackness

My hands still longed for your touch

even if it was just for a second

My ears were starting to close and deafen

I really wish you were here

Missing you sure is a punch in the stomach

Sometimes I see you in the mirror of my reflection

Your smile met my eyes and mine’s meet yours

I turn around to only see your were in my imagination

I try to close my eyes to see you again

but you’re not there

Oh, why did you have to leave?

Didn’t you know I cared for you?

I gave you the breath of my days

Just forgive me for God’s sake and come back

It’s better to realize I’m a fool then you’d be the farthest of aways

Look, I care for you that’s all the matters

Right?
