So long,
my love.
I bid you farewell,
on your journey.
-
despite your tragic end,
I don't know how I could ever comprehend.
With every passing day,
I'd be lying if I say I'm okay.
-
I miss you.
-
If only they knew what I would say
if I could be with you.
Just for tonight.
-
Tonight is the night I need you the most,
I wish I could just...
-
Breathe
-
Be with you tonight, I'd sing you to sleep.
I'd never let the light behind your eyes fade.
and if they did;
-
I'd close mine.
-
Slip away.
and hope to see you again.

For those that are still here, I will now go through with my ideology of this poem and the story behind it. But please do interpret this in your own way, that's the beauty of such poems.
