Heard you were gone
Didn’t quite believe it.
Until
A hole
a gaping space
Filled with emptiness
Opened
Inside of me.
Then I was
blind, blurry
Lost
Wet, salty tears
Clouded like the ocean…
That you’d never see again.
I miss your smile
I miss your laugh
The way you held me
Like I was all you had.
Made me feel precious.
Like a piece of glass
Glass
shatters
Breaks into
A million pieces
Like my heart when I realized
You were gone.
My heart
You held a piece of it from the start
And now you’re gone
Gone
I remember
Holding your hand
A connection
So few understand
Your hand
Delicate
gentle
Loving
Laughing
I didn’t want to slip out of your grasp
You slipped out of my grasp
Didn’t want to let go
Don’t want to let go
Please don’t let go…
Don’t leave me
Stay.
Don’t want to let go…
Not of your smile
Not of your laugh
Not of the memories
in the photographs
Not of your love
You filled a room
Just the bright look in your eyes
Wanted to be near you
All the time
I want to be with you
But you’re in paradise
And now you’re gone
What am I supposed to do
Now that you’re gone?
You hold my hand
Through the threshold of life
You hold
A piece of my heart
Always
Enjoy paradise as you did life.
Always.
I’ll miss you tons
But this isn’t goodbye
‘Cause I’ll hold your hand
Through the obstacles in life
Always.
Now is it okay
To cry?
Now those tears
Spill from my eyes
Hold them in, let them out
Pretend they are falling
from the sky
From Heaven
Where you are
Where we’ll be
Together
One day.
Someday.
Perseverance of love
Let me cry
I’m grieving
Though you’re in paradise
Always.
I’ll love you
Always
