i want you to hold onto it for me
the day before
i will tell you what you meant to me
still mean to me
you may get pulled aside or distracted by another
i will say your name to bring you back
but i will leave before you get to see the tear fall from my cheek
the stairs will guide me to the edge of the woods..
you think i'm only sad..
what if feel is far more deep..
that will be the last time i will see you
it will be the last time you will see me
still warm
cheeks flushed with the color of life
oxygen being breathed through my lungs
the fading light within my milk chocolate-colored eyes
dimmed from the hurt that no one wanted to help me from
i'm sorry in advance, for staring so much..
i will study the lines of your face one last time
i will listen for the warm, always-familiar tenor of your voice..
i will follow the trail with no footprints
i will go away, i promise you..
snow drifting
red nose
rosy cheeks
numb fingertips and toes
soon to be pale
purple
and
gray
i will remember you
and when you were sitting here next to me..
warm..
heartbeat increases, "i'm scared.." i said to you..
heartbeatΒ Β s l o w s . .
heartbeat stops.
