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?
