Gone, mind and soul from body,
Your physicality lays beneath us,
Your cognition sits on my shoulder,
Tells me that I'm wrong.

Your days are not over,
Nor have they just begun
One slip, one breath
Upon the bed he rests there.

One's problems and amenities are vanished,
For you are not lost to us,
Nor forsaken from us
Not forgotten from us.

You have left us with hundreds of coins of hope,
From all over the world,
Vanity and pride in hand,
Passed through wars and times.

"For there's a calm to throbbing hearts",
To find tranquility in tears of remorse
To find privacy in the heartache of grief
To find solitude while you rest in peace.
R.I.P., My beloved Grandad and World War II veteran fighter pilot from the age of 14, who died in his sleep in the early hours of the morning of 19th November 2013. You are not forgotten.

I love you like Silence
Nothing
Just between the two of us

I always second guessed your actions,
Didn't know if you felt how I wanted you to
Always believed that you didn't feel it,
It helped me to pull through
I never wanted to give up,
I never wanted to let go
I always thought that I needed you forever,
But with every high comes every low

I spent a long time searching for you,
You were right in front of my eyes
I couldn't see you
I was so blind
Then came along something better,
An offer you couldn't refuse
You left me and everyone here,
Casted me with this bruise

But you were never mine to let go of,
I was never yours to leave,
But I still feel kind of angry at you,
Let down and deceived,
For it was not difficult to tell me you were leaving,
It was not hard to say where you were going,
It was more than easy just to say to me,
This whole time you had thought of fleeing.

I guess everyone has to move on,
To all things bigger and brighter,
Your future now looks pretty hopeful
Mine's looking that bit tighter.
I want you to be happy,
But sometimes I have to be selfish,
And say I want happiness for me
But I think our connection would tarnish

I haven't seen you in a month,
But it feels like five,
But when I come to think of it,
At least you said goodbye that time.
In the two years exactly since I've come to know you,
I haven't found anyone better,
Not their personality or physicality,
You're my favourite sweater,
An investment, a scarlet letter
In a bundle of broken hearts
Deemed inevitable,
Work of art, all the best to be a part.

The way I love you is the way you laugh,
You have different laughs.

One for when something is out right funny,
A boastful laugh
That tells the whole world that you're happy

Another when you laugh out of politeness,
Almost sarcastic,
That tells me you enjoy people's company

A different laugh when I do something stupid,
Quiet,
And just between the two of us

I'm not in love with you, my dear, but maybe I loved you
You left me without warning, without sign
Gave me seven days to figure out what to do
I think I loved you once, with that time

I loved you like I knew no other way,
If I loved you that is
I loved you without complications
I loved up straight up
If I loved you at all that is
I loved you easily
I loved you hard
I loved you more
I loved you fast
I loved you without knowing when
I loved you at the fall,
I loved you impulsively,
I loved you without call,
That is though, if I even loved you at all.

Loneliness has always been with me,
We’ve travelled to Paphos and Paris
We’ve cried together on the sofa late at night,
But he’s never stolen a kiss

Loneliness is like a comforter,
He’s soft and warm and kind
He tells me he can’t stay forever,
I tell him I don’t mind

I tell him that he’s all I got,
Nothing more nor less,
Loneliness, you've been good to me,
But you fill me with sickness

It’s a love-hate relationship with you,
I can never feel in control
You can make me feel so content in myself,
Simultaneously, feeling small

I don’t feel I’m in control anymore,
I feel I’ve lost you to someone else
And even if I can’t bear you near me,
I feel like you’re something else

You haunt me like summer rain,
A chill or a bite
You grasp my attention,
You fill me with fright

You’re the most disturbing thing I know,
You’re scare the **** out of me
To think you’ll come back, sooner or later,
But I know you’re coming back for me

"I’m not going to let this one go"
I said,
As I jumped into it.
And then,
I fell
As I watched him leave.
