Away From Home

My beautiful, you seem so stiff

As I rock you in my arms.

My tears will reach you soon, my dear,

With hope to bring you home.

My comfort, why are your eyes so dark?

You do not blink at all…

.How could I have left you here alive and fully well?

Do you see me now, crying, dying,

wishing this was just a dream?

Or can you not see at all.

 My freind, how could you leave me here?

How could you torment my heart?

This empty slot where a soul once lived.

Where feelings were born and laughter roamed.

 

My beautiful, how does the world still turn.

How do they still smile? Don’t they know you’re gone!

Don’t they hear the stillness where you should be heard!

Don’t they feel the emptiness by my side!

Oh my sweet, when you died today.

Part of me died with you.

The best of me

The death is leaking through my eyes.

And I feel nothing.

No sorrow leaves me

hollowed out.

And left alone.

 

My beautiful, you do not blink at all.
