I’m fragile and snide
She hasn’t died
I refuse to believe
She’s star side.
I’m her best memory
Warmth magnified
I stand in the rain
Hands by my side.
I’m the last raindrop in the sky
I’m the last tear in her eye.
I’m the reason she cries
I’m the last to sigh.
I’m a dry and empty well
I’m cracked inside
I suffer alone
She isn’t alive.
I’m the last raindrop in the sky
I’m the last tear in her eye.
I’m the reason she cries
I’m the last to sigh.
I’m a fallen leaf
She carried me.
She was the wind
Sustaining.
I’m a dim light
Warmth petrified.
I stand by her grave
Hands by my side.
I’m the last raindrop in the sky
I’m the last tear in her eye.
I’m torn and tried
I’m the last to sigh.
I’m the last raindrop in the sky
I’m the last tear in her eye.
I’m shaken inside
I’m the last to sigh.

This was inspired by comments on youtube I read about loss (and my own experience). I wanted to use simple phrases that delivered a powerful message of at least one stage of grief (denial), and I'm sure that's come across well.
Hope you appreciate this, and if this is too much to read, I've posted a short version for you :)
