Why won't you breathe?
Your chest won't rise
Because it fell for the very last time
I wonder if my words are reaching you
If you're translating my screams and cries
Wherever that may be now
I want to see you again
See the life in your eyes
Hear the beautiful accent attuned with your voice
Feel your fingertips whisper against my skin
But that could never be
Not since I found your body that day
Sometimes I ask myself
What your last thought was
And who you saw
When you closed your eyes one final time
Or if I could have saved you
It hurts that I will never know
I wish I could go back in time
To save you from yourself
Because this world is missing something
Someone, rather
*You
I know it's not my fault,
But it hurts to miss you this much
And I still haven't accepted it
