bittersweet air
words spoken without care
for your mind is never bare
your thoughts you are able to share

though there is nothing to gain
your whispers bring me pain
a needle to a vein
my body shudders with strain

you were my shadow
though many years ago
you did come, you did go

and now you've finally gone
like my own blood, I have drawn
our future was laid out
but never got a chance to sproute
