As ashes elope the sky
I long for your embrace
And as your lifeless eyes look back at me
I am washed with the weight of abjection.
Pried from my hands
Your seraphic presence
My heart forever facing the sun
I live everyday heavy-hearted
Choking on dissatisfaction
Breathing with collapsed lungs
Dreaming of the aurora I once saw.
Submerged in misery
(I won't leave you)
Amid a primrose path
(Until you know)
Underneath my palms
(How much I love you)
I felt your heart stop.
The absence of love
The pain of forfeiture
This reverence
This undiminished pain
Has led me to
My place of interment.
As I stand here on a barren shore
With the memory of the sunlight's radiance
And our hands intertwined
I look to my side and realize
You're not standing there
Only your voice and your presence still reside
I let go of this thought
And my heart flourishes.
