I wanted to rip the sorrow from my hollow bones
But when I swallowed the poison to stop the pain
My faint and fallow heart failed and then started again
Came thudding to a new budding sensation
The pain did not find its’ permanent cessation
But the darkness was dulled turned to a minor aching
My tightened chest eased to find less painful breath
It was hers and would not become my own death
So though she was gone I still lived on
Allowing her memory to fade away
She may be dead but I will still live today
And though it hurts the anguish will pass
And I will find myself mostly okay at last
