Falling…
I was falling.
It was blurry and Dark.
Reaching for the edges, your hand was there.
I grabbed a hold as you were pulled back…
The love in your eyes tore the sadness from my soul and bathed me in a warm light.
You rescued my dying heart
Restored the light in my dull, saddened eyes
Reaching down, you grasped me tight
Holding on for both our lives
Then it was there
The darkened barrier that split us apart
Slicing my heart in half
The blade neither of us saw coming
The very same blade that cut out my heart and ate it for breakfast
I gave up hope
I continued plummeting towards the dark abyss hurtling towards me
I hit the bottom
Broke every bone in my body, but still I wouldn't die
Waiting for someone to finish me off I pictured you
But no image gave you justice
No memories absolved my heart’s yearning
Every breath was a struggle
Till the fight was no longer worth the trouble
With eyes closed I waited for Death
Death scooped me up and held me close
Death kissed my lips and I opened my eyes
You stared back at me as I numbly touched your face
Alive
Again you brought back the sun
You are my light
You carried me off, back to the light of day
Away from my fears
Away from my doubt
You loved me strong and fell asleep with me tight
One question was on my mind
How
Your reply was a simple one.
“I couldn't let Death be holding my woman.”
I looked deep in your eyes and you kissed me again,
Whispering against my ear,
“Because I love you.”
