the day you died

the light in your eyes slowly dies

and I know, it’s the last time

I will see you alive.

Your chest stops rising

Your heart stops beating

Your hand stops grabbing mine

 

I feel tears burning in my eyes,

but they refuse to come out

How am I supposed to go on living

without you by my side?

How am I supposed to bring you back

to me?

 

I am so angry with you

and with me

I can’t change that you left

without me

I couldn’t prevent fate

taking you away from me

but seeing your lights fade

leaving only the empty shell of a jaded man

to hold on to…

 

maybe one last kiss

can bring you back

my lips brush yours

but you don’t kiss me back

your lips are cold

your eyes stay closed

 

arms wrap around my shoulders

and through a haze I hear the words

“you have to let him go, he’s gone”

this was not how we were supposed to end

I will never forget the day you died
