Unable to meet,
Like life and death,
Light and dark,
Heaven and hell.

Bound, to only see
Each other from afar,
Forced to imagine,
The warmth,
Of each other's touch.
I see
the glint of happiness in your eyes,
the hidden truth behind your lies.

I smell
the enticing fragrance of your perfume,
the one she breathes,morning till noon.

I hear
the promises and secrets you proclaim
the way you laugh inside, is this your favourite game?

I touch
my tingling skin, where you planted a trail of roses
my chest, heaving

up, down
up, down

I taste
your kiss of death,
the very kiss you planted
on my lips
the very kiss that
destroyed me
woed me

but most importantly

killed me.
I said, "God, I hurt."
And God said, I know."

I said, "God, I cry a lot."
And God said, "That is why I gave you tears."

I said, "God, I am so depressed."
And God said, "That is why I gave you Sunshine."

I said, "God, life is so hard."
And God said, "That is why I gave you loved ones."

I said, "God, my loved one died."
And God said, "So did mine."

I said, "God, it is such a loss."
And God said, I saw mine nailed to a cross."

I said, "God, but your loved one lives."
And God said, "So does yours."

I said, "God, where are they now?"
And God said, "Mine is on My right and yours is in the Light."

I said, "God, it hurts."
And God said, I know."
