I Am Because You Were

by dedpoet

When you were a phosphorus angel      There was almost light, And your glow became like the Fallen.          When you were holding my hand        Your prints took over Mine, like a stolen identity... Willingly.        And I was, Because you were my existence     In the abyss, And your luminous spirit a breath       Underwater. And you were the storm      That I left the shelter for, A little grey can go a long way       In a rain of sorrowing embers. I was the reconstruction      Of your project, Rebuilding is never easy But you stayed til I was me again.        Life is big, But so little in time,      I am because you were, I was because you're gone.
