The time ticks by tediously.
It's as if this night is never-ending.
While I lie here waiting, my mind wanders idly.
As usual, my thoughts eventually settle on you.
(A sad nightly ritual, if you will)
Your face swims into focus, but I fear it's blurrier than before.
I can still picture the bright blue of your eyes perfectly,
But the contours of your face are getting fuzzy.
Is this really you I'm remembering,
Or are you slipping away?
I can't even recall the sweet melody of your voice.
This terrifying realization hits me hard.
I'm losing you.
Again.
These memories are all I have.
Please don't take them from me.
I want to scream out, but all I can do is gasp for air.
Once upon a time, you were my everything.
We were supposed to live happily ever after.
But you were stolen from me that stormy night.
I can still hear their words echo through the empty house.
He never felt any pain. He died instantaneously.
Well **** you. You left me with so much pain.
I suffer through it every night.
As I fight with all my might,
To keep your memory alive.
Because I will always love you.
The time ticks by tediously.
I'm just waiting until mine runs out.
Maybe then, we can be together again.

I wrote this one awhile ago. Figured I'd put it up here. Not really sure about it though
